Dear Sue,
I have just found a nice little motif pattern I want to make for my Mum and the pattern quotes madeira tanne 50 (which is 39 wraps and is 2Z) in Brenda's book. I want to use my gutterman silk which says it is 27 wraps and 3Z). Would it be sensible to print the pattern out slightly bigger for the silk and if so by how much.
This is the situation where I use my maths to advantage. Simply convert the 2 wrap numbers to a fraction and then multiply by 100/1 to give you a percentage. As you know it's going to be bigger, put the bigger number on top. That gives 39/27 X 100/1 = 3900 divided by 27 = 144%. Sounds too much but it should be correct.
In other words the pricking needs to be almost half as wide and high again as it is right now.
Look forward to hearing the result. David in Ballarat - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
