I tear as I go....makes for the end job not so bad..also, I don't tweeze the tiny bits out. Really, they melt away in the washer, so I don't worry about it. If they don't come out with a good shake and hand brushing..they just stay. I also sit outside in the porch swing when I can to remove paper. I don't have to sweep the floor that way either. Can you tell how lazy I am??

i use used fabric dryer sheets to paper piece on and then i dont remove them . i cut freezer paper the size of computer printer paper and iron fabric dryer sheets to it and print pattern on it. let ink dry and remove from paper and use for paper piecing it is so much easier than removing paper

I have been saving my fabric dryer sheet for backing instead of the paper, but just read on another forum that you shouldn't use them because they are highly inflammable. Has anyone else used these and how do they hold up after several washings of the quilt? At this time, I just use regular copy paper. Hubby helps tear them off, on these humid hot days, he's looking for something to do inside the house.
