I always get my blue film from SMP Lace (http://www.smplace.co.uk/index.htm ). They sell a 10 meter roll for £36.00. If someone from the US is going to the National Christmas Lacemakers Fair in early December, perhaps they could pre-order it, bring it back to the US and then send it to you?

I too have spent many hours looking for blue film in vain. In an effort to make my blue film last longer and go farther, whenever I do a project at home, I use my photocopy/scanner to copy the pattern onto a blue paper, or else even a colored card and cover it with clear matte film

I had catalogued mine using Excel and put in many details, such as ISBN, whether the books were autographed or not, ex-libris or new, the price I had bought them for, edition number etc. I kept on adding to it every time I added a new book. One fine day, I noticed that the details of one book were
