Hey, that's a brilliant idea! Never thought o that, actually. Which is why I enjoy peaking into this forum. Thanks for the suggestion bro!

No problem. Check out this thread that Barb posted on doing just that thing: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-stripe-32855/
Just remember that when splitting a stripe, it's important to keep it symmetrical. Obviously, the narrower the stripe, the more obvious it will be if the edge wavers. If the stripe is 4 threads wide and you're splitting it in two, if it wavers by one thread, it will be obvious.
