Hi everyone and Jean in Poole who has a pattern task ;) I for one am completely ok with prickings reduced 50% (or whatever) to fit a page in a book. It seems more efficient, and economical from a publishing point of view, and less bulk to store and less costly to mail (perhaps), if there are lots of biggish patterns where a pattern pack might be an option.
I'm going to photocopy the pricking regardless, in order to use it - I might make the exact piece of lace, or change the pattern somewhat, and lately I've been photocopying twice, once for the pricking, a second one for my notes, figuring, compulsive diagramming, etc. often changing the thread type, and having to enlarge at a different percentage anyway. It's a moot point as I'm up to my lacemaking ears in projects of my own design - but if I was buying a lace book for its patterns, the reduced size wouldn't be a problem. -- bye for now Bev in Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
