I have done the 6 holly leaves, and for the throwing out used alteernate threads in the middle of the half stitch and then crossed the left over pairs, which successfully covered any gaps.   I worked the leaves in a very fine wite bought 3 years ago at Cranmore Halls, Solihull, and they hold their shape without any stiffening. I have a DMC book which was my Grandmothers, passed down via my mother, thanks to Arachne I now know it ws published in 928 - September 1928 and says 1,120,000 copies printed in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
