Hi Sue If you have one of the later editions of Threads for Lace have a look at the thread wraps per space - page 8 in Ed5.
The finer the thread the more leeway you have in the number of wraps/cm you have, but..... for a Bucks (point ground) pattern using a 58 w/cm thread (slightly finer than Brok 100/2) the ideal space between footedge pinholes is 1.8mm. For a 40 w/cm thread (slightly finer than Egyptian 60/2) it's 2.5mm which is quite a bit bigger. 100% / 1.8 x 2.5 = 138.888888 so you need to increase your pattern by 139% which is a lot. A4 -> A3 increase is 141% which is only marginally bigger.
