    Tweezers, spritzing it with a little water. Using bad language helps sometimes.

    when you want to tear paper off a seam, use the fingers on your left hand to steady the seam stitching while you tear the paper. move left hand down as you go. it helps stabilize the stitches.

    Are you using the tiniest stitch you can? I also find it helpful if I fold it before I begin to tear and also cheap, cheap paper!

    I use lightweight vellum and it removes so much easier then paper. I won't use paper if I have a lot of blocks to make, it wastes too much time getting all the paper bits off and picked up. I like the printable stiff stuff that you don't tear out and turns to thin fabric when washed, forgot the name, I'll have to look on the package. Why use paper when it's a chore to remove? There are many options.
