spritzing with water can make it easier, tweezers, or just get it wet and use a paper towel to (rub gently) will remove it too. i was told by a shop owner that the little pieces you really don't have to worry about, they just (desolve-go away) on their own with out being noticable. i've hated using the tear aways because of this same issue but sometimes they are a better choice than the water solubles...they can (behave) differently. but the little pieces of paper will just disappear after the quilt is washed, so don't spend too much time worrying over it. :thumbup:

Thanks everyone i would be getting gray haired if my hair wasn't all gray already. I appreciate all the input. When I can i will get some water soluble stabilizer but in the mean time guess I'll have to use what I have which is tear-away.
