I would listen to what other say that have more experience than you. If you are learning a specific method there will always be more than one way to do it. Some techniques might work better than others. I for one do a lot of PP. I have tried different ways over the years and quickly found I do not like picking out the paper on my blocks. Usually it was 1 hour per block. That's a lot of time, especially when you have more than a few blocks, which I do. I have discovered the freezer paper method, where you do not sew thru the paper. Each sewing line is folded over before any sewing happens. I also use strips of fabric cut the width needed for each section. The extra is cut off after it's sewn to the block. This prevents cutting a piece the wrong size (which many people do and then are turned off w/ PP all together). Place your #1 piece on the wrong side of your strip, with the seam line between #1 & #2 sections 1/4" in from the right edge of your strip, iron in place. Put the #2 strip underneath, so right sides together, hold in place and bring to sewing machine. Fold back the paper on your fold line and stitch right next to the fold, w/ a length 2 stitch. Keep paper folded back and press seam line, fabric side up. Flip paper open and press fabric onto freezer paper. Fold back paper on next seam line and trim at 1/4", creating the new seam allowance. An Add-A-Quarter ruler is very helpful here. Place next fabric strip under and sew next to the folded over pattern line, press seams twice and repeat. When block is all pieced you carefully pull the freezer paper off. You can reuse the freezer paper 6-8 times before the shiny side no longer sticks to your fabric. This is the only way I will PP now. No pins, no picking off paper - it's awesome. There are YouTube videos of this method. You can also chain piece w/ this method if you have multiple patterns printed on your freezer paper and multiple strips of fabric. You can buy freezer paper in pkgs. ready to go thru your printer, no need to iron fabric to the page, just insert one page at a time. I make a lot of quilts with sharp pointed triangles and this is the method that works best for me.
