Jane also referenced off-list, Freezer Paper, which is heavy paper with
one side
plastic lined (typically used as a barrier when freezing to avoid freezer burn
or keep tastes out. It is also popular in quilting, cut as a template and
ironed onto the backside of an applique, then removed when the applique is
nearly finished being stitched down.) I suppose you could prick it through
your design, or hopefully draw the design on with indelible ink, as I don't
think the ink, nor the heat, from a printer would work.
Can I just clarify that my musing was nothing to do with using it for
bobbin lace, and thus it wouldn't need to be pricked. I was thinking in
terms of using it as the butter paper is used in Carrickmacross, with
the coated side uppermost, would the needle slide on it rather than
going through it in the same way? Any design would, of course, be drawn
on the other side (as we did when doing "stained glass" samples for
Patchwork).
