Default Advice on pieced border

I am about to start my first pieced border ( I've done a piano key border but that wasn't too difficult) and would like ideas on how to best accomplish this. It will be a 2" finished border made entirely of HST's. It will be in the middle of 2 plain borders. The quilt is twin size. How do you keep this straight on a long run? Should I paper piece and remove papers after it's attached to a solid border? I used gridded interfacing for the piano key, but that method shrinks it up just enough (about 1/2" per run) to make it not fit and with HST's this has got to be exact, no wiggle room. Any ideas/suggestions/methods would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
