Thank you Lori! I feel the same way. A few tiny pieces of paper on the inside of the quilt will not be notice in anyway and will disintegrate to lint with washing.
To the OP. I fold back and run my nail along the seam before tearing but the easiest way is to have used a very short stitch length when assembling.
