    Just a suggestion. Instead of selecting the nodes of each line separately, just select the nodes of a line, press and hold 'Shift', click on another line to select it, now select the two nodes of that line. You can select as many pair of nodes as you like in one go and hit 'join selected nodes' and the effect will be applied to all the selected lines.
    Thanks for the tutorial, love you.

    Wonderful tutorial, super helpful. The method in the video is super labor intensive though in the step to combine nodes to get the tapered line pattern. You can accomplish the same effect more efficiently if you make the tapered line separately and use that as a pattern to apply to all the paths in your "lined" letter.

    To join a whole bunch of nodes all at once - Select everything using Ctrl-A (or clickdrag over everything), then select the "edit paths by nodes" tool so you can see the nodes, then clickdrag over all the nodes you want to join, then press the "Join selected nodes" button. Inkscape will only join nodes that are in the same shape.

    For the people who wanna do this with a word instead of a letter. Follow the instructions as shown in the video. When you have to 'cut paths' follow these instructions: Select all the letters, click Path > Stroke to Path, Object > Ungroup. Make sure to select all letters, and click Path > Union. Now you can select the stripes and letters and go to Path > Cut Path

      The paths passing through the centre are continuous from the left of H to the right Side, Passing throught the middle " - "
      These paths appear thinner than the other paths which don't pass from one side to another. How to fix that ?

    nice, here a tip: Instead editing each path by joining nodes you can add an LPE-Powerstroke path effect to a single one line, then copy and paste the effect at once by pressing CTR+7. You'll have the same result in seconds!
