I don't claim to be any expert on Milanese, so I am probably not qualified to comment on this, but...I have not had much luck in making a nice looking zig-zag on anything other than a straight line. I would instead try to use my ingenuity in managing my design so that the zig-zag appears in all its glory in straight lines and the curves have more forgiving stitches in them.

Hello All! Un-lacing is my least favorite activity but it had to be done. I've started a new bookworm with a scroll start & worked Zigzag Holes coming out of the curve. The first zig didn't look too good but I thought it might straighten out with the next zag. Au contraire! So now I'm un-laced back to the completed scroll & faced with how to proceed. Is this braid compatible with a slight curve or not? Or is it a tension issue that I need to master? ZZH looked great on my straight section & the slithery appearance is spot on for the worm. A few additional cloth stitch rows would solve the problem, but the curve & the first zig seem like a winning combination--in my mind! Has anyone worked this braid on a slight curve with good results? Will you offer advice? Many thanks.
