I’m just starting myself but am happy enough with my Ryobi. I’d love a pro one but this does me for now
Someone put me onto Pegas Modified Geometry #3 blades and I love them. No sanding after cutting.
For beginner patterns, well Steve Good is awesome. I am also working through this dragon puzzle book. They’re cool and easy

You're doing it right (there are, as you see, a lot of opinions on how to set your patterns). But like someone else mentioned is wiping the wood down, I even give it a light sanding sometimes. Also the brand of blue painters tape can play a role (I have no clue what I use but I know one roll sticks better than another). That said I'd say that sometimes with the best pattern prep what your describing just happens. Also my first saw was a cheaper Porter Cable that vibrated quit bad at certain speeds and the pattern seemed to peel up more often. Since switching to a Dewalt I have had way less issue (because really the saw shouldn't be vibrating a ton).
Like I mentioned everyone's got a method, so a few other things to try (and I switch between some of these depending on the project):
Thanks for the compliment!
I live in West Michigan and we get relatively cold winters; to keep things comfortable in the winter months, I added a spray booth to my shop. This helps keep me warm while painting and spraying lacquer. Anyway, u/wetbung is spot on, you can use an airbrush for any type of painting...it might just take a while if you're tackling larger projects. As u/wetbung also mentioned, you'll need to make sure the paint is thinned enough to flow easily through the airbrush; most people suggest you thin the paint to about the consistency of milk (kind of trial and error until you find what works, its better to go too thin than too thick since that can gum up your airbrush). As u/urbanek2525 pointed out (good eyes btw), I use standard acrylic paints; I dilute the paint using this and then apply the paint in multiple, thin, coats. While painting, make sure to spray slowly and evenly to avoid pooling. If you are trying to paint tiny pieces (like the top of the "H" and "K" for your Hulk piece), I suggest using duct tape to hold your material in place (Sticky side up so the work piece is just lightly held in place while resting on the tape. for example). Never rush a paint job, that is an easy way to screw up a lot of hard work.
I'm a little late in responding to this but congrats! I love my DeWalt.
The one accessory I bought is a lifter arm. It locks the scroll saw arm in the up position between cuts which makes it much easier to transition during fretwork. Not at all a necessity, but if you're ever wanting a small improvement, it might be worth looking into. Cheers!
I got a message back from the guy. He said it's his dad's, who used it on some of his woodworking projects. It hasn't been used in 10 years, though.
I'm concerned that it might be too old to find replacement parts if it breaks down or otherwise needs support. I was looking into cheaper saws on Amazon, but I don't know the brands well enough. I found a Rockwell scroll saw for $150, and my dad has had a Rockwell drill press in his shop for probably longer than I've been alive. Don't know if they've maintained their standards, though.
Looks neat, something I'd really be interested in. The one review on amazon is kind of poor though, have any comment on the accuracy/fragility as noted in the review? I know it's only $4, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to buy a new one every six months. ;-)

Try this:

Place it in a spray bottle. Clean up is great with this. It disolves the adhesive.
I've been using my scrollsaw to make some automata(will be finishing up a couple soon that I can post!) and I have been following this guys blog who makes them. Every once in a while he posts miniature powertools meant for more smaller projects. here is the scrollsaw http://www.amazon.com/Proxxon-37088-Scroll-Colors-Vary/dp/B0017NUBMQ
Although I agree with daves, would make most sense to buy second hand to see if you want to invest the extra.
I personally have not used that brand though. I already had a saw when I found out about them.
https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Scroll-Variable-G434G14-1T4G3484TYG424043/dp/B01MA2FKH5/ref=sr_1_59?ie=UTF8&qid=1518197934&sr=8-59&keywords=scroll+saw may be a good fit for you. I owned a Craftsman very similar to this one that I used for several years. It is a good quality saw that I still use for a backup.
If price were no object I would recommend the DeWalt 788, but I understand about being on a budget.
What about a delta 16" similar to this one for $100? http://www.amazon.com/DELTA-40-540-16-Inch-Variable-Scroll/dp/B00002238V
Is that better than the skil or about the same
I put this on my tables. Though, the only reason I put it on my scroll saw is so the wood slides better. The table on my Hawk is aluminum.
I got it from here page 95.
You might consider a Deadman Switch if you don’t already have one.

I got a set of these. There is really just one in the set I used regularly. Flat on one side and curved on the other, coming to a small point at the end.

This is the one that I got for my scrollsaw. It's not cheap, but I like it.
