Bedfordshire Bookmark - Laser Cut Pricking
This bookmark is the first design that features in Louise West's book "Bedfordshire Lace Designs". The bookmark is designed as a starting point for lace makers who are fairly new to Bedfordshire Lace.
Requires 28 pairs of bobbins - contains techniques of leaf tallies, trails, plaits, windmill crossings and eight-pair crossings.
This patterns is a "ready to work" laser cut version. An A5 coloured postcard of the finished item is also included but does not include working instructions - these are available in the book mentioned above.
The "ready to work" option provides an incredibly accurate pricking complete with all markings. Absolutely nothing to do apart from putting it on your pillow and making the lace. Definitely saves a huge amount of time - this pattern has 645 pre-pricked holes!
The lace shown in the photograph has been worked in Finca 60 thread.
