Thanks for this tutorial....Will be fun I am sure. How long are your stitches?? Is it difficult to remove the paper. I am not a PP. In fact have never tried PP........

I do tighten the stitches on my machine a bit and I steam press it before removing the paper..adding machine paper seems to be cheap and comes off easily
