My question on what the intended use is for the card that we use for
pricking only got two responses - Brenda confirmed my thoughts on card for
cartridge cases, and Vivienne Walton from Presencia/Biggins emailed me
privately and said they buy it as pattern cutting card, which they
understand is used by the clothing industry for pattern cutting. I think I
might have seen something similar bit thinner used as electrical insulation
(which had ben the other suggestion) but I'm not sure about that.
Whebn I did my City and Guilds in Dressmaking and Pattern Cutting (for the
clothing industry) many years ago, the card we used was in the same colour
range, and was a similar/same thickness, but it wasn't glazed like a lot of
the pricking card on sale. There is some pricking card which isn't glazed,
but my personal preference is for the glazed type.
