Lace making equipment: prickings
|
|
The design of the lace was transferred either to parchment or strong card from master cards and was called the "pricking". Pin holes were pricked through and the pattern markings were added using indian ink. The finished pricking was attached to the pillow using strong pins ready for the work to commence.
