Answer 1

Check your instructions; the answer may be in there

Answer 2

it means a 1/2 stitch, I do alot of cross stitching, & this is always on my charts. I do the prestamped, prequilted, baby quilts.

Hope this helps you out. Good luck.

Answer 3

It's possible that your symbol divides the square in half, meaning you would do a quarter cross in one color and another in a different color. It would look something like x / * or maybe

# \ @. If there is no other symbol or color, is it possible that the / represents your outlining? Hard to tell without seeing the chart.  :-)  Good luck.

Answer 4

The symbol that you're describing is a half stitch.  Good luck

with your project.
