When I started making lace 9 years ago I was lucky enough to visit my first NEC lace fair in England and I purchased a small amount of blue film. It seemed horrendously expensive to me and then I started making my prickings on blue cardstock. I used to get the copy shop to do it onto the card I supplied but when I got a scanner I decided to have a go through my printer. With fingers crossed that it would not get jammed, I scanned the pricking and printed directly onto the cardstock. It worked fine and I have used that method since. I use clear contact paper over the pricking but I usually stick it with printed side up method. I will try the reverse way, i.e. sticky side up, next time I make a pricking. By using the cardstock I eliminate the problem of having to stick the pricking onto another card. I have a short attention span and really dislike to make the same lace over and over again so I do not worry about the pricking having to last over and over, besides it onl y take a minute or so to print another copy. A friend asked me to find out if anyone can answer her question. Last year at New Jersey she saw someone with an American Flyer 22" square hard sided suitcase and has not been able to find a stockist. I tried the web page for American Flyer but got an error message on the online shop. I also emailed their sales department but it got bounced back. Do any of you know where she can find more details about this suitcase as it seems the ideal size for a pillow now that the airlines are getting picky over suitcase sizes. I know that the huge hard sided one I used for a number of years is about 2" over the recommended American Airlines size and I don't want to have to cough up more money for that. Happy New Year to you all, DH is taking me out to dinner, nothing fancy, just our favorite Italian restaurant, but we will probably fall asleep long before midnight. Need to get up to see the Rose Bowl parade tomorrow. Janice Blair Crystal Lake, Illinois Where we had a white Christmas but looks like a balmy New Year.
