Yes, this does work. And another thing is to mist the paper with water and let it sit a few seconds; then pull the paper off. Let the pieces lie flat until dry.. Keeping the whole thing together until the blocks have been put together would probably be the best way to go.

YES! Don't remove it until you sew the blocks together. Otherwise your bias edges will be a nightmare!
