Are you using the tiniest stitch you can? I also find it helpful if I fold it before I begin to tear and also cheap, cheap paper!
I never had a problem with it..maybe because I didn't consider it a chore..just part of the process.
When taking paper off, I generally sit at a table with a plastic bag next to the piece. I crease the paper against the seam and pick any small pieces up with a pair of medical tweezers or a small hemostat (my neighbor was an MD and had old suture sets that were too worn out for his office use.) When I'm done I take the top outdoors and shake it out to get all the tiny bits free (and off the floor indoors :lol: )
Just take your time, going and a moderate pace saves me a lot of "double back" time here.
But that's what works for me.
