I just got in the end of this thread, so maybe this has been posted already--use a pressing cloth when pressing paper pieced items because you don't want that ink on your iron or ironing board. as you piece, use you nail to gently "iron" the seam. better than a hot iron & you get no folds. do each seam you sew. cut your pieces generously, it's much easier to piece & you don't spend so much time lining stuff up. Judy Niemier website has great stuff for PP.
