You keep in on while you stitch the blocks together.

Seams just fit toghther better. If there is some bias involved which there usualy is, I use a bit of starch and press after removing the paper. Hope this helps a little. peace |

I find it easier to remove the seam allowance (paper) on the bottom piece after matching, not so thick and teeth pull better.

Carol Doak site has free PP patterns you can practice with. I did a large PP quilt that meant I had to cut apart the pattern in several places. then later put them back together. i used colored pencils to mark lines across the sections so when i joined them again, i could match them better. just a thought.

NanaCsew2 explained it very well - that is what I do. It works well.

I do lots of pinning like the others mentioned. Also, be sure to use VERY fine pins. They are expensive in my opinion (I am quite frugal) but I find nice fine pins are a necessity for getting precision in my patchwork.
