The grip helps me pin out the points in the motif so that it is evenly spaced. So, for a snowflake I use a circular grid with six or 12 spokes, and for a star one with 10 of five spokes. Sometimes, instead of spraying, I brush on the stiffening and let it dry.Tat-a-Rendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457269449603084653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686992030343180610.post-40905727356794201082009-03-31T20:58:00.000-05:002009-03-31T20:58:00.000-05:00And rust-proof pins.

Sometimes I put a layer of saran wrap over the cardboard so you can use it over and over and protect the lace from getting that cardboardy smelly, LOL! You certainly don't have to! I actually just use an old bulletin board that I'm not going to use for anything else and cover that w/ a piece of saran wrap bigger than the piece I'm using.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.com
