Synopsis

The most important factor in an attempt to achieve good lace is to use an accurate pricking, and to draft it oneself is one answer. This applied to the reproduction of existing patterns, where the pricking may be in bad condition due to constant use, the drafting of a pattern from lace or a photograph, and also to the transfer of one's own ideas from the sketch pad to graph paper. The necessary equipment and materials for this work are described and sections comparing the different types of graph paper and the chocie of thread are also included. Instructions are provided for drafting a wide range of patterns, including simple pieces suitable for beginners to copy through to those aimed at the more experienced lacemaker.
