I've always pre-pricked onto card, mainly because I was taught to do it that
way and find that I
understand the pattern much better when I start the lace if I've spent the time
pricking and inking
in the markings, but I've just realised I could never make lace without
pre-pricking - I rely on
I have been reading this thread with interest and waiting for someone to
voice up about the method I have been using. It is not a new invention by
any means but no one has said it so here is my two cents worth.
I use coloured photocopy paper to print out on an inkjet printer then I
laminate the pa
Just be careful, with using an Uncovered photocopy, that the ink does not
rub off onto the lace.
I did that once - and Never again!! I Always cover with contact, now, as
the one time I did not, - I got very grubby lace on the underside, where the
ink came off onto the lace.

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.

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.
I don't always prick in advance - Withof and Hin
Dear Jane,
thanks for a most interesting email. Just when I was considering
going over to a laser printer too!
I've also found that the window/shelf covering self-adhesive plastic
film sold by the metre in d-i-y or decorating shops can work out
cheaper than the book covering film - you can

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.

will do a foot around."
I hope that you have made the pricking a bit larger than the roller. If it
fits exactly then the 6 times you are going to go through the pattern means
that you will be going into exactly the same

When I took my first lessons in bobbin lace way back in 1977, I was taught
to trace the pattern from the book or photocopy and then prick through the
tracing onto strong pricking card, then transfer the markings with pencil
first and then with a fineliner pen, rubbing out the pencil markings. I
I agree with Sue, except that I still cover my card stock with blue film...
I think that when we're making something with pinholes that are fairly
far apart (1/8th inch, or about 3 mm) and we only intend to do it once,
then the need for pre-pricking is not as great. But any time the
pinholes
I generally print on coloured card stock, and don't cover it in plastic.
Nowadays I tend to pre-prick anything fine. I wear magnifying glasses to
pre-prick, as my eyesight isn't good enough otherwise. Then I can make lace
without wearing glasses, as I can see the dots well enough to know where
Hi David and all

Most times used of a paper pricking, *plain* paper even, was 12, of a

of trying different colours and threads, no desire to stop and make
another pricking :p

Dear Friends,

This suggestion has been put to me a number of times and so I'd
better confront it. There are a number of reasons why Iwill never
copy on to card stock and these include:
