I'm a bobbin lacer and I always pre-prick my pricking.
I am just finishing up the project I have where I used manila folders

That is excellent Pat, and this is coming from a stubborn on-the-go

As Pat will soon find out, the nicest pricking to work on is one done on
card, and then inked in. Without the plastic layer, you can feel where the
