The way I was taught to make prickings (from one of Karen Trend Nissens books), you prick through a sandwich consisting of the master, a plain piece of paper, and the parchment (and a piece of freezing paper or waxed paper for your own sanity's sake ;). The parchment is for use on the pillow, and the paper copy is the new master. The reasoning is that however carefully you try, you are bound to enlarge the holes of the master copy; next time you use it, it will be more difficult to prick correctly from it. If you make a new master each time, the pattern won't need to be trued up too often. Of course that was before copy-machines could create identical masters each time ;-) Regards Katja Gamby in Copenhagen, Denmark -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Administrator, Dept. of Comp.
