Hi Jeri, That's an interesting point. Actually, I use all kinds of card for my prickings. I just finished a pattern from the Swedish Bobbin Lace Association that was printed AND pre-pricked on card that is almost 2 mm thick. THAT pricking did not rise (or bend, either). On the other hand, I have used card not much thicker than paper when in the throes of creative adventure and in too much of a rush to to make a proper pricking. So, I guess the answer is, it depends. Not a lot of help . . . Patty
