I once tried to make a Binche edging with a zig-zag outer edge from Die Spitze, the Deutsche Kloeppelverband magazine. Without thinking I started it English way round. It was just about doable, but very, very difficult. After a couple of repeats I decided that my estimated reduction of the pattern to fit the thread I wanted to use wasn't quite what I wanted. So I cut off the bit I'd done, redid the pricking at a slightly more suitable magnification and started the other way up. It was ever so much easier. -- Money can't buy everything.
