Hi Arachnids When making Flora Bucks I photocopy my pricking onto coloured paper and stick it to a thin coloured card, one that I know will stand up to my tension. I pre-prick the ground and fillings to make sure they are regular but prick-as-I-go around the motifs. That gives the the possibility of moving pinholes when I wish to. A cautionary note. The narrow edging in my christening bonnet booklet was made on an antique parchment and moving pins was not an option. The pricking has been very well made and the repeats accurate so I had to use the pins as determined in the parchment. It was a very interesting lesson on interpreting a pattern with unusual results.
