Small stitches and I use Carol Doak's Foundation Paper and have never had a problem removing it even in small areas.

I never have a problem with paper I think because I bite the bullet and use paper made for paper piecing. I hold the piece at the top corner and the opposite bottom corner the pull down and up and that makes the initial "pop". No problem wi the rest of the job.

Thin paper from a telephone book is easy to remove. If it doesn't tear easy enough for you, just spritz it with water and it practically melts. It helps with any paper to fold along the stitching and then tear right up against the stitching. Lots less little wisps to use tweezers on.

I've found running a pin along the stitches helps. Definitly use tweezers to grasp the bits.

I dip a Q-tip in water and rub it along the seam line. By the time you get one block done, it pulls off pretty easily.

Try stamp tongs. They're long and thin and work great. :)
