hi lockeb, if you werent able to find the post about turkey tracks, this should get you there. it is much more clear than i could ever explain.
this stitch is really an embroidery stitch. don't know the real name, maybe someone reading this could say. i don't do much embroidery.
anyway, i hope this helps.
good luck.
