[lace] Laminating lace

2007-03-22 Thread Diana Smith
A while back there was some discussion on laminating lace could anyone tell me what the consensus was? I have just taken a Bucks Point bookmark off the pillow, I shall be giving it to my old schoolteacher and thought that laminating would be the better option for her use. She is 91 years old,

Me too, although I did get one laminated, I use it and wouldn't give it away. I do laminate pages to keep sample pieces clean and safe in my folder though. Sue T Diana, Why not use one of those clear plastic bookmark holders that all the general lace suppliers have? I always use them.

Hi Spiders All, I have followed this with interest, as it is what I do with some - only some! - of my prickings. But - a cautionary note! The mother of one of my children had the mat which the child had made laminated - against my better judgement, I must add! - and was very upset with the

Hear hear. I have been using a laminator for some time now. I thought I had discovered a great new idea , then I saw on your website that you do them too. Great minds think alike I suppose. I believe Staples in the UK often have good deals on laminators. It's certainly where I go for my

No such worries with laminate. It pricks though beautifully, you have no need to lube with beeswax and you don't get any sticky residue like you can get with blue tacky. Claire Kent,UK On 16 Apr 2005, at 6:58 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 15/04/2005 15:01:13 GMT Daylight Time,

I got my pouches from Staples. Matte finish A4 were the ones that I bought. They were about £17 for a pack of 100. That should last me a fair while. I use them when I am doing workshops and they have been welcomed greatly. Claire Kent, UK On 16 Apr 2005, at 5:45 pm, Christine Lardner wrote:

Hi all. Last year I started laminating my patterns for my use. I found it great. I have used it for small things and things like table cloth edgings where you have to use the laminate over and over. It does not go loose and the pins go through great without pr-pricking. Anyway I now sell

Hi all I have begun to laminate patterns which are either on coloured light card or paper (the colour determined on the thread to be used) - depending on whether the pattern is likely to be used more than once - and it is quite easy to put the pins in without pricking beforehand - I have found
