while trying to get the blue film properly centered
over the printed pricking, the static in the film made the
paper pop up and adhere to it... before I was ready!! This
means that the film isn't quite where I wanted it, and, as
usual, I ended up going grrr... (or something
stronger.
So my question is, do any of you have any clever tricks for
getting the blue film exactly where you intend it to be?
I'd LOVE to overcome this annoying little problem!
I don't know if it's a clever trick but I only remove a corner of the blue
film then place that corner exactly where I want it on
Dear friends,
May I take this opportunity to recommend the magnifiers I bought myself for
Christmas. Their brand name is Magvu, but I haven't done a search on the
net yet. There are 2 interchangeable lenses: one is 2.5 and the other 4.0
power of magnification. I find the 2.5 perfectly adequate
In the summer I discovered book covering vinyl in Walgreen's, in the back to school
section. (It is made by
Kittrich). I have been using it on the patterns for the group I teach at the local
school and it seems to work
as well as the blue film. It cost me about $3 for a pack of four rolls each
Hi everyone and Beth
I used Mettler 60/2 instead of the DMC fil a broder 50; or, you could
enlarge the pricking - try at 110%

Ok, now I have another question, what kind of thread is used, I have used DMC
what I usually use for cross stitch, and I have used tatting or crochet
thread, (I like the strength of that.) I am sorry to be such a bother.

I stopped using the film ages ago - if the pattern isn't too complex, it
is far cheaper to use a waterproof
Dear Lacemakers,
film you guys are talking about is. And where would you get it? I am
using grid
paper with scotch tape all over it.
Yes, Lynn, when I started, that's what I did. Well, I suppose I learned
from the experience, and it wasn't all negative.
And Clay, I've been through
Hello Fellow Lacemakers,
I am not a bobbin lace maker, but I do tatting. I recently finished a
project that had an inner part and an outer layer. Even though I tried to
tat very loosely while going around the outside, it came out kind of cramped
and didn't lay right. So next time, I'm thinking
To get the film to lie smoothly and where you want it, try this
approach.
If you're using a backing card (like a manilla folder), tape it to a
table. Now tape your pricking to the card, or if you're not using card
stock (for stiffener) just tape your pricking to your table.
Cut a piece of film

slightly larger size of thread than the inside. Does anyone have experience
doing this and know what the results might be?

I've used these for a couple of years now - they are the ones that sit on a band
on your head, and drop down in front of your eyes for close work. The two

Dear Lacers,
A friend who is not on the list is looking for Christine Springett's email address.
The one published in the IOLI Bulletin bounced back to her.
Would someone kindly email me privately with Ms. Springett's current emal address?
Thank you.

The angel is so pretty but I can´t get to the pattern! The cursor changes
into a hand on it as on the other pictures that gives us a pattern but this
one does not show a pattern. Could someone please help me on how to open it.

One of my favourite presents this Christmas is a photographer's loup (my
husband wanted his back in his darkroom). They are actually magnifying
devices designed to look in detail at photos, and examine grain etc. The
lenses are therefore very good quality, and are apparently available in a
range

I don't use the blue, made-for-the-purpose, film; it's too expensive,
too hard
