Many years ago I bought a second hand book on Russian Tape lace and am now
finally going to work some of the patterns.
My problem is that I think it is written in Dutch. The diagrams are excellent

Hi everyone, can you help... what does 'kantbrief op 100%' mean
please, I have the english translated pages for my book 'Motieven in
Kleur' but the english doesn't include the diagrams and the section I'm
not sure of is written on each pattern page (some have 50%)... I
know its to do
kantbrief op 100% simply means that the pricking is printed at full
size. When it says, ...op 50%, it is reduced, and you would print it
out at 200% to get the size used in the model, with the threads which
are recommended.

It is an Estonian word. pitsipulgad literally translates to lace sticks or
