I've been pping since 2001. Taught myself using Carol Doak's books and watching Alex Anderson. I love it.The precision cannot be equaled. I use Carol Doak's pping paper.I also keep scotch tape or masking tape for ripping, a large needle and small stiches. I agree, removing paper is not as enjoyable as sewing onto it.

I used beeswax when I embroidered some blocks for a guild Christmas Quilt, and it didn't on that. I have heard it stains fabrics, but never have seen it on work others have done who said it, and not on mind. I think it is a good product.
Have the scotch tape handy for paper-piecing. A friend helped me paper-piece the "Amish Tulips" into a wallhanging, and that was her first piece of advice!
I agree; it is easy to loose your place if you don't stay with it!

It makes much more sense to me and I adore it, I will NEVER go back to the regular way of paper piecing again!
Cheers!

Andii,
Give it a try.....
Oh and I do not pre-score my lines, though it may make it easier to do, I usually just fold when I am ready to do the next section. Actually now that I think about it, scoring may be easier! hmmmm may have to try that next time LOL
Cheers!
