I've been doing that for 5-10 years now, and I love it. I use a Xyron cold-laminating machine. Unlike Bev's experience with the copy shop, this laminate glues to the paper so I cut pieces apart without problem. It's not as stiff/hard as pricking card or paper over manila file folders, but plenty strong enough for my use and re-use. For coarser laces (Russian, torchon), I don't always pre-prick, unless I'm using brass or insect pins (both of which bend very easily). For finer laces like Bucks, I do always pre-prick. Robin P.
