This is a large good quality workboard measuring 21cm x 28cm. This item contains a plastic board and a fibreboard. The plastic board has 106 holes in several different sizes to enable you to make quilled coils all the same size – drop your coil into the appropriate hole and it will expand to fill it. It is also useful when you need to make eccentric coils and huskings. The fibreboard is 1cm thick, so it will take your pins easily without them pushing through and damaging your table. The plastic piece is removable so it can be washed easily. There are also two pieces of grid paper which are marked out in squares, circles and diagonal lines to help with lining up. I would suggest that you photocopy the grid paper so you have several copies for future use. This set can be used in several ways, either with or without the plastic piece. If you always cover the fibreboard with polythene (the bag it comes in is fine, or use clingfilm) it will not get covered in glue. You can either put the grid paper or your pattern under the polythene to follow, then pin your coils to the board, or attach the plastic piece with a few pins to support your coils while they dry. |
