I want to make a pricking for a beginner of the beginner's "bandage" to be made using ordinary sewing thread. There are three graph grids printed in Pamela Nottingham's "Bobbin lace making" (immediately before list of suppliers and index). Can anyone advise which one I should use? I know it has to be either the smallest or the middle size but I keep swithering. TIA Patricia in Wales [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having started off on worm bandages, I can only say that making it with sewing thread was one of the most dishartening experiences I've ever done. It took ages to get to the end and I felt, when I'd finished that I hadn't achieved anything. I now start beginners off on the famous springett snake as this teaches whole / cloth stich and makes up quickly (due to the thickness of the thread) and gives them something worth having as their first project.
