That's why it's great to make a note right on the pricking - you won't have to go looking for it, at least while you still have the pricking on the pillow! Make the notes before you forget, and use abbreviations if there isn't much space. If you start a piece and cut it off, pin the bit to the

I have been following this thread and wonder about the 300 or so books that belong to Norfolk Lacemakers where we all borrow them and I may honestly say I think everyone of us have copied patterns out of them to work else where would be the point of us buying them for the use of our members?

Excellent point, Bev. And the information would also be important if ever you decide to exhibit your work or enter it into a contest, like a county fair. For example, IOLI has two contests at the annual convetion, one of which is technical proficiency, for a piece made from someone else's

You are allowed to copy a percentage (10% I think) of a library book for your own personal use/study. That would surely cover you if you borrow a lace book and make one, maybe two, patterns from it. If it's an instruction book and you intend to work through all the instructions from cover

This topic came from lace chat where the discussion is to do with original artworks (e.g. a painting). However, on the topic of 'copying' lace patterns, I shall add some random thoughts here: I agree it could be vexing if potential sales are hampered that a lace group buys a single of a pattern

If you save the document as .rtf (rich text format), any computer can read it. As least that's been my experience both when I send documents to people with Microsoft products on their computers (which I don't have) and vice versa. It's not as pretty as Word or Appleworks, but it does the

I have made lace over a copy of a picture of lace, when I didn't have a pattern. I must admit that they were fairly simple laces, and not as intricate as that described by Adele. On a Quipure lace, I had to draw a diagram of one repeat to figure out some of the trail intersections and thread
