Laminated Patterns
Do I need to stick my pattern onto card? Cover it with matt film then prick it?

NO! you can have your pattern as a Matt Laminate. Ready to prick. When you are very experienced, as I am and many of my customer are, you can not bother to prick it. It is up to you. If you have a laminate which has say 3 bookmarks on it you just cut up your laminate. Leaving a bit of a border round each as you do with patterns on pricking card. And yes you can use the pricking again.
Most Laminates are £5.75.
You of course get the full paper pattern as well.
It’s changed my lace making life!
