Hi Weronika and all
If you can't get contact paper right away, put the pricking into a sheet
protector (student supply places should sell sheet protectors?). Trim away
excess and pin to pillow through the plastic/pricking paper layers. Sheet
protector plastic isn't as durable as contact paper, so
My personal solution is to get the pattern photocopied on to coloured paper,
cut it to size, then have it laminated - all at my local copy shop. As the
lamination is just heat-sealing in very thin plastic, there's no glue to worry
about. Also, you can choose whatever colour of paper suits

Personally I don't like pinning through adhesive and I just use a
photocopy of the pattern, over a piece of card, all pinned to the pillow.
Lately for getting a sample done quickly, I've even dispensed with the
card - easier to pin through
this subject was last explored on the list, there were a lot
of lacemakers who swore by this method of making a sandwich.

Subject: re: [lace] pens and plastic
Hello Weronika -
The plastic film we use can come from several sources. There is a blue
film which has a matte (dull) finish which makes the lace more visible
against the pricking. It may be obtained from most of our lace vendors.
Others, like Tamara, for example, prefer to use contact paper.

Hi,
Thanks for all the advice on how to prevent my prickings from staining
the lace. I got some waterproof pens and will try them out soon. As
for the plastic, do you know where I could get it?
The simplest thing to get would be transparent Contac Paper --
