for me the paper works.
As mentioned : sew with some smaller stitches.
I press open before removing the paper (someone's elses tip)
when I remove the paper I tear it from the top to the seam in half and then to the rigth and the left so the stitches don't come loose at the beginning and the end of the seam.
and I don't hesitate when pulling the paper off....like a bandaid: rip it off then less disstortion will occure I think
