SO true!! And if you're still hesitant, think of it THIS way... You have the option of which end you discard. This way, you're not working extra repeats at all... you're giving yourself the opportunity to discard the first two or three repeats that weren't quite as pretty as the rest of the work!! The attitude makes all the difference!!
