Regarding the OP's issue of fabric fraying when you pull away the paper. I have never had that happen more than a few threads. Try hitting it with your iron again before peeling. That should remelt the waxy coating enough to get it to release easily but you may sacrifice the amount of times you can reuse your pattern piece.
Thank you so much for clarifying the difference and posting the link, thanks too Kitsie. I have done paper piecing but have not heard of this method. I will give it a try.
