This is the way it has always been done in South Africa and I always thought it was standard pratice!!! I have actually changed to orange paper after seeing all the Spanish lacemakers working on orange background and the threads are more visible. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa.
>>> If the patterns were to be routinely copied onto a pale blue paper the same color as blue film, students in the US could put the blue paper pattern on a card, say an old file folder, and then cover it with the clear matte film that is sold at Ace Hardware. One can buy a roll of clear matte film large enough to last you the rest of your life for $5. Why should it be routine in the US to expect everyone to arrive at a class with a product that is not sold in the US?
