Hello
thank you, everybody, for your interest in my search for the Suse Bernuth
pricking.
Having read the different mails it seems to me, that there must be an error
in the book Suse Bermuth - Klöppelspitzen im Stil der 50er Jahre.
Probably there are only the three sheets with prickings, and it is
Dear Friends,
Anyone got any idea what this is and how it's used? The seller doesn't know,
but says he/she's been told it's a lace making needle, and the

held sewing machine - note the needle

Hi All, I'm making some Needle Lace flowers and things for gifts for
