Thanks Lorri. I was just thinking about what I had on hand. I can beat you on the snow. We had about 8 inches last night and it had blown in front of my garage and was about 14 inches deep. My neighbor saw me starting to shovel and he told me to leave it as it was heavy snow. He cleared the drive for me. The snow is melting now. DH went to Japan on Saturday for a one day meeting and took my camera so he could snap the Cherry Trees that are starting to blossom, so I used my phone camera to record the depth. Janice

I believe these can be used with 'ink jet' printers, just check to be sure first. Again it may take a little longer for the 'ink to dry'. Acetate is also a term used for these sheets. They are used for overhead projectors. Lorri, Graham, Washington, USA where it snowed 4" last night but most of it is melted by 2 pm. today. You could cut out that part but how are you going to get the right filling pricking under the original pricking when you have a mass of pins holding the lace down? You would be better to make a transparency of the filling pricking and lay it over the area and prick through that onto the original blank area. We just took a class with Debbie Beaver where she explained how to do it. She even gave us a transparency for an enlarged filling pricking for when we get to that part of the project. We were doing her Art Nouveau class where you decide on your fillings later. I don't have any transparency paper but I was thinking of printing it on tracing paper or vellum. The latter might take a little longer for the ink to dry though. Janice Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA Hi All I was just reading through the Lace guld Honiton book and reading how the filling patterns are done, I know at the moment I am jumping the gun as I have a while yet before I get to a pattern with fillings but my question is. Is it possible to cut out the middle of the pricking where the filling will go before you put it on the backing card and then place the filling pattern under it, so then you have the complete pattern on the pillow at the begining. Little things that go through my mind. So glad you are out there to help. Thanks. Wendy St Dogmaels [email protected].
