Welcome to all our new members, your "newbie" questions are great.
Somewhere in the depths of my addled brain I recall when discussing this topic before, someone mentioned that if you use too large a needle in your pricker, that your lace will ride up the pins? Is this right? I used to have this trouble, but not recently. But a friend of mine has just finished a wide edging which seemed to want to climb right up to the top of her pins, and we really can't figure out why. Flat pillow, side angled pins (maybe not angled enough, but the work really did want to fly up like never before with same pillow and pinning method) Another "incidental" - does anyone else have the same problem? if I work in linen, I find I have to put the half hitch around the notch at the top of the bobbin, then the linen thread can be easily released. But if I do this in cotton, the thread is continually slipping off, and I find I have to put the half hitch on top of the wound thread itself. Noelene in fogged-out Cooma, like pea soup! Winter is fast approaching - absolutely glorious days, trees ablaze with colour, sharp cold nights.
