Hello Spiders,
I got a new book Nyt i knipling-5 by Aase Nilsson.
It is in Danish I think, I would like to know what
kind of thread it uses. I am guessing that it is the
Anchor 80. If anyone has this book and can help me I
would sure appreciate it
Thanks in advance.

A friend who is not on the list is looking for Christine Springett's email address.

I've used these for a couple of years now - they are the ones that sit on a band

The one serious advantage of film (coloured or otherwise) is when you intend to
stiffen the lace (eg for A
Christmas ornament). You can keep the lace pinned to the pattern (on or off the
pillow) and apply the glue /
starch etc) and leave it to dry without shrinking

The "trick" I was taught when applying the sticky film to the pricking
is to cut your piece of film, peel off the backing, and hold it on either
side so that it droops down in the middle in a "U" shape. Then
gently lower the bottom of the "U" on to the centre of your pricking
until it is in conta
To get the film to lie smoothly and where you want it, try this
approach.
If you're using a backing card (like a manilla folder), tape it to a
table. Now tape your pricking to the card, or if you're not using card
stock (for stiffener) just tape your pricking to your table.

I used Mettler 60/2 instead of the DMC fil a broder 50; or, you could

Hello, all -
First - Clay, can you stand more ideas for your blue film? I don't like
to stick down the film at the top of the pricking because if you're
doing a long pricking and you're just a little bit off at the top it
will go on slanted and not cover all the pricking by the time you get
to
Dear friends,

Hi all, I usually lay my pattern on the card leaving a inch or so all round
it. I cut the blue slightly larger than the pricking but not ad big as the
card. Then I unstick all along the top just a finger width and lay this along the
top of the pricking. This has now held your pricking down in pl
Hi Ya'll
Ok I am definately a new lacer because I haven't a clue as to this blue
film you guys are talking about is. And where would you get it? I am using grid
paper with scotch tape all over it. Santa skipped me this year, I think
it's cause DH thinks I am crazy for wanting to do this
So my question is, do any of you have any clever tricks for
getting the blue film exactly where you intend it to be?
I'd LOVE to overcome this annoying little problem!
I don't know if it's a clever trick but I only remove a corner of the blue
film then place that corner exactly where I want it on
I always put a few *very small* dabs of glue i.e.Pritt Stick on the back of
the printed copy, this keeps it in place on the card until your ready with
the film. Also you could try cutting the film slightly larger than needed
then the excess can be trimmed off after. Well these work for me anyway.

while trying to get the blue film properly centered
over the printed pricking, the static in the film made the
paper pop up and adhere to it... before I was ready!! This
