[lace] Blue film

In the US, the office supply stores carry packets of 250 sheets,110 lb
cardstock. I have printed prickings on this cardstock in blue for my
students for the last many years. Have not heard any complaints, except
that it works best to prick it before working. Not all printers will accept
110 lb cardstock, however. It depends on how the paper is fed into the
printer. The 67 lb is stronger than paper, and OK for a single use, but not
strong enough for several repeats in the same holes. I have found that the
light blue works for both black and white threads. There is also a light
gray color, which works well for black and colored threads.  One advantage
of not covering a pricking with sticky film - besides the cost - is that
notes can be added.
