As for paper piecing use the cheapest paper you can find and use a slightly smaller stitch than normal, and tear carefully, it should all come out. If there are tiny pieces left they would wash out when you first wash the quilt.
Also you can spritz it a bit with water if its giving you a tough time. A pattern I bought used very very heavy paper (Bella Bella) and spritzing worked great.
