Re: [lace] DKV mailander spitze question
Der kloppelbrief wurde auf 71% verkleinert. No I can't translate it but from experience working with Gutterman's silk for Milanese, I would think this means the pattern is at 71% of what it should be. The braids aren't wide enough on the pattern sheet as they are for that thread; they need to be wider. And in fact a quick look at a free translator comes up with Has been reduced to 71% of the If anybody wants. Not sure what happened at the end, but it confirms what I thought. This is *at* 71% so it fits on the sheet, you need to enlarge it. Jacquie in Lincolnshire who won this beautiful book in the raffle at The Lace Guild convention at Kidderminster this year.

Re: [lace] DKV mailander spitze question
Dianne and the gentle spiders, Jacquie is correct in her translation. I have just heard back from a colleague in Germany who has confirmed that this translates as 'The pattern was reduced to 71%'. I'm rather enjoying working through my German lace patterns as I've just got some new colleagues in Munich who are long suffering with my requests for odd phrase translation.

Re: [lace] DKV mailander spitze question
If a pattern was reduced to 71% for printing it means that it was reduced from A3 to A4 (or A4 to A5). To get it back to the full size you need to enlarge it by 141% - A4 to A3 (or A5 to A4) These are standard figures for enlargement based on the fact that with A sizes of paper the width of a sheet is the square root of its length, and those percentages halve or double the area. 0.71 x 0.71 = 0.5041 ∼ 0.5 1.41 x 1.41 = 1.9881 ∼ 2 Brenda On 28 Sep 2013, at 07:57, The Lacebee wrote: I have just heard back from a colleague in Germany who has confirmed that this translates as 'The pattern was reduced to 71%'.

Is it possible to download a translation of the text from the publisher? I have a book - Milander Spitze, Modern Interpretiert - which gives that option.
