The one major plus to paper piecing is that it makes your points perfect. It's a great way to make a mariner's compass quilt. I like to reuse "reject" papers from the copy machine from work.
A couple of tips when paper piecing...
Often a copy machine will distort the original. Be sure to run a test and make sure it is perfect.
Finger press until you take the paper off. Sometimes the iron will release the toner from the copier and make black smudges on your fabric. This, of course, would be very bad! :(
