Dear Antje, I prick the whole pattern before I start for a couple of reasons. I don't like pricking on the pillow because it wears the pillow and loosens the pillow so that the pin doesn't stay as "tight" when I insert it; and I can make a more accurate pricking off the pillow by using a ruler to ensure the long rows of ground are straight. It's a horrible job (in my opinion!) and I'm always glad when its over.
