[lace] Pricking Material/Libraries (Evolved to Copyright)

2010-06-01 Thread Jean Nathan
Following from what Nancy said, I too have had books published - nothing to do with lacemaking, but practical books of patterns. Although published by the best-known publisher of it's subject, I still hold the copyright, which I believe is usual in the UK. They were published as cheaply as possi

When I want to use a pattern, I take my book to our local copy shop. There, I can choose from a huge range of colours - so I take my thread along to try against the paper. It's amazing how shades of white can blend into something like pale blue. Also, you can find a shade that is going to be

If it is for a single use, I will often use file folders. I always seem to have tons of them around. It is thinner than usual card stock, so I would not use it for a lace with tightly packed pins, such as one of Ulrike's moths. :) Sherry - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com co

I do not actually make a lot of lace, for a number of reasons, so re-use of a pricking is immaterial to me. I tend to simply photocopy the pricking in the book on ordinary copy paper, and then, if it is a large pricking, I will use the blue film to attach it to the pillow. I have made Torch
