Make your own grid if you do not have one already!
The BoldQuad is so easy to use in a regular mesh grid to line up perforations or follow a particular grid pattern, it fits the larger/regular mesh grid perfectly. One can even use a frying-pan splatter guard from your kitchen as it is the perfect size mesh if you don't already have one in it's own frame.
OR
Pin mesh to pattern if using a piece of mesh with no frame, using drawing pins on top of a thick perforating pad.
Work done using a grid pattern for regimented order of perforations can be greatly enhanced in terms of ease, neatness of alignment and speed by using one of our Bold range of perforators rather than the normal single needle tool!
Naturally the PCA UniBold can be used to create ANY grid pattern, it is akin to performing counted cross stitch embroidery when using a single needle tool. One must count the number of perforations to be performed in a row and the appropriate spaces in between. It is much more efficiently performed using one of our multi needle BOLD tools designed especially for the job.
TIP: All PCA Bold Perforators benefit from occasional waxing of needles and may be used with a regular mesh grid or simply alone or in conjunction with the aid of a paper pattern for positioning guidance.
My thanks to Carla Prediger Trasel of Brazil, for the introduction to Latin American style parchment craft in my life, inspiring a passion for the pretty open lacy look I now often favour personally.
