Pencil Triangle In shows only thin line (ver 0.92)

Try if adding a fill and removing the stroke of the line helps. Technically, this path effect (Pattern along Path) is using the fill color to create the irregularly shaped stroke.

I found Pencil in Preferences (Shift + Ctrl + P). I tried to simply adjust the stroke to a large number but couldn’t type in the field. Ended up using “Take from selection” option after I had adjusted a stroke manually to look like what I want. I’m new with this, so I don’t know if I had a path/path effect/pattern/fill/object that I selected, but it seems to work better now, I actually can get kind of a swoosh. I’m just thinking there has to be an easier way, this is such a powerful program. And how do I adjust the number without having to manually create something and then “take from selection”?

Thanks for your input.

Hachmann proposed the following answer:
Don't use a stroke on objects with triangle in / triangle out path effect. It's not working as you think it will work.
Here's a video that explains how to use it better than I could with words:
