I've been finding this discussion fascinating. I'm doing old Binche and Old
Flanders patterns, so I wouldn't dare try them without pre-pricking--pins are
too close together, and my old eyes need magnification to do the pricking. If

I was taught to pre-prick onto card, the reason given was "your lace is only
as good as your pricking, rubbish pricking, rubbish lace". I have also
found that if the light is not very good it helps greatly if it is already
pricked.

I've photocopied and laser printed patterns going back over 20 years (some

Where possible I still take the photocopy, rub it all over with bee's wax and

My contribution to this discussion is that personally I prefer to work on
card rather than paper, so if only paper is available I use two or three
thicknesses. This is because I like the feel of the support that the pricking
gives to the pins.

Dear Clay and other interested Friends,
And from a teaching standpoint, I think it is essential for
relatively new lacemakers to get into the habit of pre-pricking,
since this helps "review" the pricking for those illusive dots that
sometimes print out lighter than others and might be missed.
To add my two cents, the first page says in Spanish:

Probably it is not a verbatim translation of Therese Dillmont's book,
however The "Enciclopedia de las Señoras" appears everywhere as an
Spanish translation of it.
