Thank you Jeri for explaining this method so clearly. I am definitely going to try it very soon because I am reaching the corner of a hanky. I have seen lacers putting a cloth around their bobbins the way you explain, but I thought they did it just as a kind of protection and that they put an elastic band around them anyway. But using the divider pins to fix them on the pillow is a really good and easy way... My teacher didn't teach us this method. I will tell you how it works in a few weeks! > I used to put a small thin piece of felt just before it became necessary to > move the lace, then after 1 " or 2" of lace you can lift and move it and > than put the pins with the felt into the new position and carry on Dora, I am afraid I don't understand this very well: where do you put the piece of felt: under the pattern? Over it? If it is under, you have to lift the whole pattern, don't you? If it is over it, you don't see the pattern? Sorry but I have the same problem of understanding with Betty Ann's explanations. > 5.) Secure the bobbins and move the lace and pattern just before you have come > to the end of the styrofoam. Does it mean that you need two patterns? The one you lift with the styrofoam, the pins and the lace and then a new one to put on the pillow? It would be so easy if I saw how you make it. But it is always complicated to understand written explanations, and even more when they are in a language which isn't mine! I hope to understand it in your next try. Thank you very much.
