You don't want to use freezer paper if you're going to sew through it. Freezer paper is for the fold & sew method. Smaller stitch length is for the "flip & sew on the line" method. Cheap, flimsy paper is easiest to get off.
Another method is to use muslin or thin interfacing for the foundation instead of paper. Permanent stabilizer and an extra layer of insulation.
Paperpiecing is how I learned to quilt. First thing I did was join a paper-piecing group and then joined a swap. Nothing like jumping in with both feet! :D
