Laminate your pricking pattern to extend its life
Posted on Monday, March 9th, 2009Here is a quick tip sent to me by Barry Radburn. If you laminate your stitching card pricking pattern you can use it many times without having to re-print it. If you don’t have a laminating machine a good alternative is to put your pattern in a standard 150 mm x 100 mm (6 inch x 4 inch) photo sleeve. These are made from 2 mil clear polypropylene plastic.

I use a manila file folder and cut it to 4 x 6 size. It’s stiff enough to be able to use it over and over
I laminate my patterns with my 5″ Xyron–it works beautifully and is just the right size for most of the patterns.
I’ve also used 4 x 6 plain recipe cards.
I use plastic wallets and store all my stitching patterns in a 4 hole ring binder.
