Just for future reference in your PP adventures. I do a lot of PP and have never had a problem with removing the paper from each block when it is completed. Don't be to affraid of doing this. I remove the paper and then starch and PRESS the block so it holds the shape while I sew the blocks together. It is way difficult to remove paper from interlocking seams if you don't remove it and this struggle will distort the block faster than just removing it when the block is complete. Just imagine removing the paper from a whole lap or queen size quilt after it is sewn together. NO thanks. A block at a time for me!. And please make your life a bit easier and don't embroider through the paper unless you want a disaster. Good luk with your quilt and post pics!

Also dont use any stabilizer for the embroidery. To hard to sew through. Just use a hoop and keep the fabric taut but not stretched. I love the idea of some hand work in the blocks!
peace
