I have an ongoing Spiderweb scrap quilt from Quiltville that I am working on. I used the telephone pages for the triangle section and a dab of glue on the center triangle to hold it in place. I stitch and flip out my scraps until the triangle telephone paper is covered and then trim the excess off with a rotary cutter and ruler. I pulled off a couple of my blocks after stitching and the t. paper came out really well. I did use a shortened stitch length. I only pulled the paper out of a couple because I want to leave the paper in until I sew all the sections together. I think it will help with any bias edges and be more accurate. One word of caution about t. paper, I was careful not to use steam on my finished blocks as I didn't want to chance the ink transferring to my fabric.
