Tamara wrote of her frustration with the gear on the Toustou pillow. I also have a Toustou pillow, and in fact have the "twin" of her home-made pillow, as we made ours together one summer as part of a guild project. And yes, I agree that the apron is a tom-tom and the wedge is far superior to the geared stop. But even with the tom-tom effect, I like this pillow a lot.
However, I intend to use my Toustou, not just sit and admire it! So my first step was to attach a nylon strap to the brass gear stop. The strap is only about 1/8' wide, and sticks up an inch or so and gives me something to grab when I want to release the gear and move the roller backwards. So that problem is solved. The next thing we (this includes DH) intend to do is make a narrow ring to go over the gear. It will match the gears on the inside and have a much finer set of "teeth" on the outside, so that the moves won't have to be so huge. That's on DH's "Honey-do" list, and we'll just have to wait patiently to see when I get it!
