It seems that my SIS stringers are always fatter where I grab
them with the tweezers to pull. I don't get rid of these "fat" end
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.
