Linmid, I leave the interfacing in my project, it is the thinnest interfacing I can find and it doesn't
hurt your project. I dislike ripping the paper out. I also cut my pieces larger than needed so
I always have enough to cover the next part. I am working on a string spiderweb and am using
the interfacing for the foundation, I glue the first part in the center and then sew different sizes
of strips to each side of the kite shape. I got the pattern from Bonnie Hunter's site:
www.quiltville.com. She has some wonderful scrappy quilt patterns for free and great
instructions too.
