Great start C_F. :applesauce: I love these designs so I'm looking forward to seeing this develop. I've got all of this series on my 'to do' list. Are you going to do the others eventually too?

its when you stitch one arm of the x..then use your needle to seperate the two pieces of floss so it lays nice and flat..then you do the top arm of the x and seperate that too.
some only do that to the top of the x.
