Hello All,
As a Canadian living in the US and crossing the border many times a year, I
have a reasonable idea what customs is interested in. When going from the
US to Canada they always ask if we have items that we are bringing into
Canada that will be remaining in Canada. The limit seems to

Dear Lacemakers,
Seems time to introduce a new topic.
In one of my lace magazines there was an ad listing Bonham's auction dates
for the year, and the next auction of lace, bobbins, etc. was advertised as
being Tuesday, September 6th.
Is anyone planning to attend?

Hello Doris
Setting the photocopier to 150% increases the overall area to more than
twice the original area:
150% x 150% - 225%
If the original pattern is right for 180/2 the teh pinholes will
probably be about 1.1 mm apart.
Setting the photocopier to 150% will make the pinholes 1.65 mm apart
Jean, the reason you set the enlargement to 141% to double the size is
because
141% x 141% = 200% or
1.41 x 1.41 = 2
and yes it is because you are enlarging both the length and the width.
The chart you refer to is by Vibeke Ervo and can be found on Jean
