Don't know if you do this or not, but I learned this tip and it increased my work time and made removing the paper easier...take your foundations, put them in a pile while you are watching TV and pre-fold and crese (in 2 directions - fold, crease, unfold, fold the other direction and crease again). Do this to all the lines. I did this for a queen size quilt in 2 nights of TV watching. By doing this, you don't have to flip it over to check the lining up up for seam allowances etc. Also, when you tear out the paper it comes out easier. Also, when everything is connected, "pop"the paper out by tugging at opposite (on the diagonal) once, a tiny bit hard and most the seams will pop out.
