Hi Catherine,
I'm with Liz, your book is a vital resource and should be available for all
those wanting to make needle lace. I can't imagine making lace without the
help of you book. As an avid and constant user, I think spiral-bound
would be great.
People keep books for a variety of reasons,

Dear Cathy
In an ideal world we would all like a hardback book which we can store on
the shelves correctly as Jeri suggests. But everyone has to be realistic as
to what they are prepared to pay/or can afford for their hobbies. They
will also have decide whether they have room to store all the

Hi Jean and fellow Arachnids,
I certainly keep books etc. at the base of my pillow in the pillow bag;
besides that I carry a 'doughnut' pillow on the bobbin side. That protects
the bobbins and lace while in transit and provides a softer seating when
faced with the awful plastic chairs so
I personally prefer books, hard or soft cover, with a proper spine so that I
can see what is on my shelves, though I appreciate that spiral binding does
allow pages to sit flat when the book is open.
I second Jacquie's comments about ring binders taking up more space on
overcrowded shelves -
Yes Jean and Joepie,
You have been on Arachne and have been making lace for a long time.
You have read about all the pillows that have flipped up-side-down through
some ridiculous mishap - sometimes a family member or pet.

I certainly agree that Spiral is a great way to go, but unfortunately my
digital printer does not offer that option. Perfect binding is the only
binding they offer, as a way to keep costs down.
I’m working on a pattern book, so if you can suggest a printer please let me
know.

I second this thought. I wish all books would lay flat without having to hold
them open by whatever means. Some books won't stay open no matter what you use
to prop them open, except to turn them upside down, which is a nuisance when
you are trying to follow instructions that need both hands.
Susan said For Alex other lace authors, may I cast my vote for spiral bound
editions? . Books lie flat do not need to be propped open--very
handy when one is trying to follow the instructions!
But I understand that suppliers and librarians aren't so keen on then as they
get bent out

My first idea would be to contact the folks at Country Bumpkin--they run a
