I have found as in using Thangles, if you press the piece, which sets the stitches as well, and pinch the paper/material at the middle of the piece the paper comes off better.

I have never tried PP. It is on my to learn list.

Small stitch...maybe 1 less than your default stitch if computerized slightly larger needle I sit and relax watching tv or visiting with someone. Fold paper at seam a little and rip. Quilters have sometimes applied a moist washrag over the seams to loosen the paper if it's being difficult. Don't get too wet. Love paperpiecing for it's accuracy |
For those of you who do paper piecing, there is a product I have used that you may be interested in. It is called Toni's Amazing Disappearing Paper and you can print your paper-pieced patterns on it, sew and then the paper dissolves in water and will not gumup your needles.

Judy Neimeyer is also a great paper-piecing pattern designer. Some of hers are pretty easy - others not so easy, but I love most of her patterns. Her web site is Quiltworx.com Good luck. Paper piecing produces some fantastic designs.
