Using Pellon for small pieces ... help

How do you easily remove the paper backing before pressing the shapes onto fabric?
Any hints or tips? Thanks!

I use a pin to scratch a tear in the middle of the paper backing. It's easy to remove from the shape.

I agree with OnebyOne-just scratch the back of the paper with a straight pin and it comes off the fabric pretty easily.

I bought a roll of Pellon and have to say that I do not like it as well as the Heat N Bond lite. When I pulled the paper off, the 'glue' pulled off as well, or it was so stuck on that I couldn't get the paper off without shredding the raw edge. I bought the Pellon because I couldn't find the HNB on a roll like usually purchased.
