Hello Spiders! Yesterday I finished the Binche handkerchief edging that I started in May!! It is resting on the pillow for a few days, and then I will do the joining... Several days ago I began the delicious task of deciding what project to tackle next. I've settled on a sampler in Ulrike Löhr's "Schneeverseht und Durchgedrecht". I love what she says about the title of this book: "The title of this book is a play on words in German and can't be translated precisely. It means the effect of many snowflakes forming a snowdrift and Lacemakers going mad." !!
I've just spent a couple of hours scanning the pricking and the diagrams. After printing them out, I made my pricking "sandwich" with the "blue film" and lacemaker's card. As I was doing it, I had the same problem I *always* have doing this... 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 "grrrrrrr..." (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 hope you've all had a good Holiday! Santa is in cahoots with one of my favorite vendors now, and I got five dozen new Binche bobbins!! Yippee!!
