have you ever tried sewing strips of fabric into a long straight piece? if you havent I tell you your straight piece of finished fabric goes really wonky, but by using the paper(consider it a guide) you will find you have a perfectly straight and beautiful 3in. jumping off place for a large variety of creations. Happy stripping!
