It seems that my SIS stringers are always fatter where I grab

but instead save them up and join them into 10"-12" fat stringer.

I once had two glasses full of these fat ends. They work great for
big broad stripes between two colors on a bead.

I then rake them toward both ends of a bead into a chevron pattern.

I have found that I like these "fat" stringers so much that I intentionally
leave fattish ends when ever I get into a SIS pulling mood.
