In regard to this stitch, I myself am hard pressed to find any good use for it. I do have to say that I think it sort of looks like raffia to me, and also that it is a good fill-in stitch, and that it can end up looking amazing at times, as evidenced by all the other wonderful stitchers who show their stuff over at Pin Tangle!
My final thought on this project is that even though I really had a time with this stitch, and harbored bad feelings toward it, my cactus ended up looking kind neat (to me). I'm just sure it is done all wrong, but I hope you all enjoy it!

I think it looks great, Julie!!
I think this looks great. HCM a little late. ;)
Your cactus did turn out well! I didn't care for the stitch itself either. For some reason it just didn't make any sense to me. It's interesting to see what people - like yourself - did who created images with it. Very creative!
Totally cute. Your roses look great and any bouquet from our garden always puts a smile on a gardeners face. Have a great Labor Day weekend.

I like your cactus!
this cactus looks beautiful to me too! I have many growing in our front yard and this looks just like one of them - nice selection of colors - now I am seeing this stitch as cactus rather than bunny tracks :) Thank you for your comment too!
(I like the polka dots you stitched this on as well ~)
I think you have made excellent use of the stitch, makes a great cactus. But also, looking at it reminds me of a cabbage cut in half, showing all the layers.
I really like your color choices here.....nicely done. Have a great weekend!
That is SO cool Julie! You are a true cactus Monday gal.

Teri- I try to be, but fail so badly most of the year!!! :(
Looks like an easy stitch, bet it's not really. Happy CM to you pal.
Neat idea and nicely done! I didn't care much for this stitch either.
You have been busy with embroidering dear And you roses are wonderful I can almost smell them!!!!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend:)

I do like it! I love the colors! Kind of reminds me of embroidered jeans back in the day. :)
Hi Julie! I think it is cute! (I've never done embroidery, and never wanted to...it looks too hard.) It looks great on the fabric you choose, too.
