Hi everyon I have had trouble with the lace lifting, but not the pattern lifting except when placing a flat card on a curved (i.e. cookie) pillow top - there are a couple of things I usually do, might be worth considering:
I use a workcloth with a hole cut in the middle, to place the bobbins through for all the but patterns with 'lots' of pairs - the cloth can be pinned firmly in place and this would keep the pattern flat too. I now seldom use a pattern on card - most often I photocopy the pattern onto plain paper and that becomes the pricking - even and especially for Buckspoint - no prepricking necessary, and I'm going to toss the pricking afterwards anyway - and the paper should conform to whatever pillow surface (i.e. lie flat). I make all sorts of laces, all sorts of styles, all sorts of experimenting (and master of none, LOL) happy lacing bye for now Bev in Sooke BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
