new vocabulary: railroad
???
Vas is dis vord: “railroad”
I did some brief researching to find the answer…because I’m learning. 
railroading your cross stitches
However, although the author of this blog gave a clear definition…I think I might need a visual lesson on how to do this stitch by stitch. I like the idea of saving floss and having neater stitches.

Remind me the next time you come over and I’ll show you. Quite simple, really, once you see how it’s done
This gives a pictoral explanation, but for some reason it looks more complicated there than it actually is - but it might help you visualize it better. Basically what you do is use the needle to split the two strands as you’re going back into the fabric so that they lay flat next to each other rather than lay twisted.
