This is the thread I bookmarked, there are pictures starting on the second page.

I don't get what the 'reciept' is for when making string quilts

I bought a bunch of scraps that had a lot of small star diamonds cut up and used those diamonds on an adding machine tape I picked up at the goodwill. I was overall happy with the process and would do again. I use a small stitch anyway, a popsicle stick was my go to tool. For some paper a light spritz of water makes the paper give up easily. I know I took process pictures of the rows but I'm not finding them easily.

My current project is string pieced on paper. I bought a ream of newsprint (through Amazon) to use, so far I think the tearing off isn't going to be a big deal with this, although the ladies at my quilt club were amazed at how small my stitches are -- that's on purpose and I don't have to worry about redoing anything for precision. Just a bend on the seamline is enough to break the seams apart.
