From comments, I'm not the only one disappointed in DMC 310. I have quite a few Sullivan skeins, but no black. As for silk, I know nothing of the brands, thickness, shine, plies, so would be ordering blind. Switching to 610 is working nicely.
But the biggest help was from a reader that emailed .... get this ... my own diagram and instructions for over one stitching. I have been looking for it!! It was a post from January 2020 and since I don't label, could not find it. She wasn't sure which online site she saved it from and said it has helped her. Imagine my delight when her thoughtful email gave me exactly what I was searching for. More goosebumps?
The intersection's top linen thread will either be vertical or horizontal, which determines the direction of #2 to #3, preventing the floss from slip sliding away. So much easier for me, and working out swell. I will continue as long as I can manage regarding my eyesight.

Hope your weekend is safe.

Well, glad someone came to your rescue. I'd be totally and utterly useless to you since I don't even "get" the whole "intersection" thing?? No need to try to explain it to me....I probably wouldn't get that either. I just stitch along stupidly and, for the most part, happily. ~Robin~
