it is practice makes perfect, but heres a trick i do for when im not confident of my stringer work or whatever, is lay down the stringer as kind of a cold punty so that if u dont like it u can knock it off and try again.
like, i get the area im gonna lay it down (i usually use marias over bubbles) but i warm it up but not like hot hot, and then i leave the flame a lil bushy and holding the maria or bubble slightly under the bushy flame i write with the stringer, pull it out, and if i like it i melt it in and if i dont, i knock it off with some tweezers. im not good at describing so i hope that helps! i use this when im doing my flowers or layering my colors for letters too.
