Dear CKCOWL--These were interior seams that pulled apart. I did paper piecing and sometimes the seams pulled when I took the paper off but I fixed them as I went. Maybe I missed a couple too--I don't know. but I figured the pull mainly came from the LA. The Stitch Witchery has worked just fine- can't find the pulls after I fixed them.

I found that PP comes apart sometimes, too, on the interior seams. So I always start EACH little seam with a backstitch (I start the seam one stitch in, and stitch backwards once before going forward) and then I backstitch at the end of each little seam as well.
I also use a 1.8 stitch.
No pullouts.

dear toomuchfabric--Thanks for everyting. did you use regular paper piecing paper or copy paper. I used PP paper. I love PP piece except for the pulled seams.

The Bag Lady

No problem Amma. I figured there were some good answers out there.

I use foundation paper sometimes, and I use computer paper sometimes! That's when I want to take the paper off.
Sometimes I use muslin or used dryer sheets when I want to leave in the foundation.

And, I use a Very Small stitch, which makes getting the paper off So much easier, too.
