When I started learning from a book after a visit to England where both my mum
and Jacquie had started. I bought 6 pairs of bobbins and started with the

But there is no problem if you reply to arachne, surely. I personally find it
a bit annoying when I'm checking my messages when the Reply All includes a
reply to me and a reply to Arachne. When questions are asked, it is helpful

One place to look for cotton is your local charity or thrift shop. They often
have handkerchiefs of sufficient size that you can crop off anything which is

often not square but as they are plenty big, you can pull a

As someone with a couple of travel pillows might I suggest that you try a

Looking at their advertisement in the latest edition of the Lace Society

They offer:

The other thing to remember if you are cutting your own blocks (and I think
most bought pillows have them) is to have two half blocks. These are most
useful to move your work - you don't always want to move a whole block and the
