Everything is > archival quality This is a really good idea - particularly for the larger laces, such as the hankies where a 9 x 12 binder is too small to show them well. My takealong binder for demos and talks is just that, a 9 x 12 three-ring binder, school supply grade, with vinyl sheet protectors (these come in a range of durability; usually of polyethelene base, probably won't off-gas much, with time), and coloured cardstock inserted in each. The several hankies are folded compactly, to show all corners. Other snippets are loose on the page - I tape the top of the sheet protector to keep the laces contained. I would go to a larger size but the 9 x 12 is easier to pack around. People can flip through the book touching the plastic not the lace. IMO the plastic sheet protector is one of the best convenience inventions :) -- bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
