On the other hand, the lace made on bolsters is often coarser, with heavier

Catalan Blonde lace (point ground) is made with fine, traditionally silk thread on the vertical bolster pillow and that is I believe worked with the open method. The bobbins are pushed to one side when not being worked and usually pinned back with large holding pins. when they are brought back into use the worker just has to check that each pin has a bobbin on each side of it and carry on working.
