I learned this tip from my friend, Angi, and thought I'd share with you.
f you fiold the paper on the line and trim before you stitch, it makes it so much easier to line up the next fabric piece.
Fold paper on line between 1 and 2.
Place fabric on back of paper.
Fold paper back and trim 1/4' away.
Place fabric 2 right sides together with 1.
Turn paper to front and stitch. 
Continue on.
I hope this makes sense.
I learned a similar method from Judy Niemeyer, and BOY did it revolutionize paper piecing for me. Before, it was nothing but frustration and plenty of tears.
