Francesca,
Your technique sounds right, but the equipment is wrong. For that test to
be valid, you must use a broken foil blade. While, your sharp scissors
probably, indicate that the material will pass the punch test, you'll still
need it officially punched. Ly. Anaka has a punch tester. Either Ld. Facon
or Ld. Johann probably have a broken foil with which to test, or...if you
are traveling to Academy of the Sword in Wiesenfeuer, this coming weekend,
I'll be there and I can test it for you.
It's better to be safe than sorry.... especially where our children are
concerned.
In service,
Therese Maria Giovanni
Acting Northern YR marshal

This is Francesa, Katrine la Esclopiera's daughter. I am needing a little
help. I need to make my armor for youth rapier. I took some linen and
tripled it, then jabbed it with scissors over and over and no holes were
made, is this a valid punch test for now, and would the results be near the
same with a correct punch test?
Francesa
