I spoke with Christine Springett at the Coventry fair, last year, and she confirmed that her fan mounting book was now, sadly, out of print.
I know I have a copy somewhere in my storage but I can't find it so I was hoping someone would give a quick summary of Christine's method so I can mount my fan - so thanks Ann Regards Liz Beecher Who is in morning because her Richard Gravestock pricker has grown legs and walked and she can't get another one. -----Original Message----- From: ann DURANT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2003 00:06 To: Ruth Budge; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [lace] Lace fans I've done about a dozen fans, and when it comes to mounting, each time, I find I have to refer to Christine Springett's book. I have 3 separate pleating plans - large, medium and small - which I have drawn up according to Christine's instructions - when I have completed the fan leaf I tack it to the pleating plan - I usually tack around the fan/plan 6 or 7 times before I am ready to pleat. These pieces of interfacing will last me for ever, I hope, so I won't have to make any more. I use wooden fan sticks - usually the ones done by Springetts - and I prime them before using them with diluted PVA glue, which I allow to dry. Then I stick the sticks to the lace with PVA. I made a bad mistake once, by glueing the stick to the wrong fold of a pleat, and didn't notice until it was finished and dried! I used a stiff bristled brush, and a little filtered water, and dabbed gently along the line of the stick until I could lift the lace off the stick, and I was able to relocate in the right place, so no harm done!
