Sue - when my sister Jacquie came to teach Milanese for the first time here
in Canada, she told us that we needed two pillows and two sets of bobbins.
The first set was to practice the stitches that we were going to use on the
finished piece and the second set was for the actual pattern. We were
reminded that when we left the pillow for any length of time (i.e. lunch or
overnight), then we should practice a repeat or two before going back to the
actual pattern just so we could get back into the rhythm of the pattern.
It also meant that if, when we tried a pattern that we didn't like the
finished effect, that we wouldn't have to undo work on the 'special' piece.
