RE: [lace] Lace stands

2017-05-13 Thread Jay Ekers
I have heard these called Belgian stands. My Australian made one has given
many years service; it is the same as Tess described but additionally has a
plate that fits over the top cross bar - this supports the pillow without
needing a lap. I usually lay a rubber non-slip mat beneath the pillow for
security  so I can safely get up and leave without having to move the
pillow.

Interesting that nowhere do I see the simplest form of lacemaking stand.  It
is a simple adjustable column (raises or lowers to any convenient height),
is steadied by a flat area for one's feet, and supports one edge of the flat
pillow while the opposite edge rests on one's lap.  With the column
compressed, it measures about 18" high and depending on the size of the foot
plate about 8" wide.  Jeannet van Ord gave me one years ago, and it fits in
my suitcase.  I have used it for travel and classes, and around the house
when space is limited.  Several friends have copied it, thanks to their
woodworking husbands, and seem to find it as useful as I do.

I would also like to see a photo, or even instructions on how to make one.

Any chance of posting a picture of the stand on Pinterest or elsewhere?

Hello Everyone
  Katelyn I use a stand when I`m sitting in an armchair. My
pillowstand stands at the side untill I use it. I can take my stand outside in
