That's what I was thinking I read before. Someone on this board recommended thin non-fusible interfacing. Print your block on it, and you don't have to tear it away when you're done. You press it to freezer paper to get it to go through the printer.

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.
