I'm using templates, not pp. One block I did try pp I stretched the bias too much when I removed the paper. I'm enjoying working with templates.

I believe you normally should not remove the paper on paperpiecing blocks until it has been bordered with a stable fabric. (At least that is the way I was taught. )
