This is the only way I paper piece. No tearing bits of paper out of seams. AND you can reuse the pattern a few times (if you've used freezer paper, it stays together better). I did Storm at Sea using this method and the points and seams matched perfectly. Some say it makes the pattern bigger but I did not have to adjust the border sizes at all so it couldn't be much bigger than intended. Two essential tools: the quarter-inch edge ruler, and cardstock. Any old magazine postcard will work, using it to fold back the paper along a seam to get it crisp and straight. I used a version of this method: http://www.sewwequilt.com/2011/10/gu...-and-look.html
