This is a subject that has lots of opinions. A lot of people say they use copy paper with no problem. Every time I tried to use this paper with all the proper stitch adjustments and pulling the block a little to stretch the paper abit to tear it away from the seam, It always loosened the stitching. I find copy paper just to thick for PP. There are some things I feel I just have to spend money on. PP paper is one of them. It is like tracing paper and tears away very easily from the stitching with no problem. Please do not wet the paper trying to remove it. You will have a paper mash mess.
Try running a chop stick along the edge of the stitching to pre- tear the paper then gently pull the finished block (like stretching it VERY GENTLY). this should help to remove the paper.
I also use a seam ripper to gently work out the little pieces that stick in the corners of stitching intersections.
Hope this helps a little. Don't give up.
Stitch length = 1.5
peace
