It works really well for me, and I have the satisfaction of reusing the waste paper.
That's exactly my method as well. I make a master copy of the string block so that I can make as many as I need that's are the same. And I have straight lines to work with on the clean side of a recycled sheet of paper. I tried phone book pages, but the pages are too dark and cluttered with text that I couldn't see my lines.
