Thanks for welcoming me! I have done what you recommended, but it leaves a strand behind it. These nodes basically (when dragged) open up the fill again. See: 1) Adding the shape to subtract. 2) Subtract the shape 3) After subtracting, piece is still "there" EDIT: I made the shape a bit larger and repositioned it, it works now. Thank you!

What is up. I'm here because I can't for the life of me figure out how to break this shape so that the following gap isn't filled with the black color: I've tried breaking just about every curve I can by selecting the nodes at each "end" individually and selecting: > Break Curve From the action bar. However, it never seems to do what I want? Can anyone explain how I can achieve what I'm trying to do?
