Great tips already. JN patterns come with the papers already and it is a light weight newsprint type paper. You don't have to remove every single tiny minuscule scrap of paper. A few tiny pieces left in the seam allowances won't hurt a thing and after a wash or two it will be completely disintegrated. I don't worry about getting every last tiny bit out, especially the bits that get encased in the seam allowances in the intersections.
