    I put masking tape over all the paper. The paper sticks to the tape and come off in almost one piece. It doesn't seem to hurt the stitches.

    I run the backside of my seam ripper along the stitched lines, fold the paper back & gently tear. Any bits & pieces left are removed with tweezers.

    Finished my first project a few weeks ago - used the fold and tear and needle nosed pliers for the small bits. Wasn't too bad but it was only a wall hanging.

    Sew on the lines of the paper without thread first, then stitch your fabric on using a very small stitch, the paper will come away so easy! :thumbup:

    needle choice and thread also play a big part, try using microtex 70/10 sharps and 60wt thread.
