You could cut out that part but how are you going to get the right filling pricking under the original pricking when you have a mass of pins holding the lace down? You would be better to make a transparency of the filling pricking and lay it over the area and prick through that onto the original blank area.
We just took a class with Debbie Beaver where she explained how to do it. She even gave us a transparency for an enlarged filling pricking for when we get to that part of the project. We were doing her Art Nouveau class where you decide on your fillings later. I don't have any transparency paper but I was thinking of printing it on tracing paper or vellum. The latter might take a little longer for the ink to dry though.

Is it possible to cut out the middle of the pricking where the filling will go before you put it on the backing card and then place the filling pattern under it, so then you have the complete pattern on the pillow at the begining. Little things that go through my mind. So glad you are out there to help. Thanks.
