Read the posts about storing used prickings. Lots of good information.
I, too, like to keep them in the book the pattern came from if possible. I
keep them in plastic page protectors...cut to fit the book if need
be...keeps them from falling out when you open the book.
I've found out the hard way that the ink from regular ball point pens like
Bic tends to fade as the years go by so I make notes in an indelible ink...a
Pentel brand Onyx pen is a good one...fine lines and inexpensive.
If you're going to make any markings on the pricking before you cover it
with clear contact film, a pencil works well. Inks of all kinds seem to
bleed into the contact film after a while.
BTW...if you use the plastic page protectors to store your notes and
prickings, make sure they're made of polypropylene, which is chemically
inert.
