If you aren't confident drawing the lines on your pricking, then be all means
you it lightly in pencil first. Draw the permanent lines in a waterproof
fibretip type pen and then use a soft eraser to remove any traces of pencil as
this will rub off onto the lace.
Do not use a biro type pen, as

It doesn't have to be a fibretip pen, mapping pens or a fountain pen
can also be used providing the nib is fine. The thing that does matter
though is that the ink MUST be waterproof, smudgeproof and not of the

Hi,
I just noticed some black spots on my lace, which reminded me of a
question I keep forgetting to ask. When you draw your prickings, what
sort of pen or pencil do you use, so that it doesn't rub off on the
lace? Or do you print them, or do something else?

I photocopy my prickings and put self adhesive matte plastic on top. The
ready made prickings on paper board are probably drawn with water proof ink,
I have never had any trouble with them. If I draw a pricking myself I always
use a very fine permanent ink pen but also put the plastic on top.
I use a very fine-tipped *waterproof* felt pen. That doesn't rub off on the
lace.
