Notes:

From a Wave, Step & Flip ends in a "Z" whereas Step & Fold ends in a Mini-Wave Box. EN: 70
The 'Step' of Step & Flip is a step ahead, which often (but not always) is the same as a Press Ahead. 'Flip' means Run into the adjacent position (as in Flip The Diamond). EN: 80
Unlike Step & Fold, Step & Flip can be done from any line of 4. Upon completion of the call, the original Ends are adjacent to each other. From Parallel Lines, Step & Flip is done in each Line, and nobody crosses the center line to the other half of the set. EN: 90
