I have two cover cloths made from stretchy velvet fabric. They were well washed before use to make them shed all their threads in the washing machine, not on my lace. I find them good to use with any bobbins. They do inhibit rolling of unspangled bobbins a little. Having said that, I'm currently making Withof with Binche bobbins on a cotton cover and not finding that a problem either. For me the trick to using continentals is to have the pillow horizontal, whereas for spangled bobbins I like to work at an angle. -- On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time. - George Orwell Steph Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tatting, lace & stitching page <http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/index.htm> - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
