Thank you all in advance for your differing opinions! :-) ================================================== Hi Janet, This is a very timely question for me. I have lined up a couple of large Torchon patterns (if you can call Eva-Lissa Kortelahti patterns Torchon) that I want to do. Some Spiders have mentioned that a cookie pillow past a certain size may be difficult or uncomfortable to work on larger pieces. And I have taken that into consideration. It seems to me that a rectangular piece on the order of 20-30 inches wide would best be handled on a nice long, large diameter bolster. No moving up, and the working area is right in front of you. Now I just have to make one. Bolsters are not normally found in this size all made up. So it looks like I am going to go into the bolster making business. I looked into acquiring an ethafoam cylinder that are used in physical therapy, but the diameters that are available are fairly pricey and not big enough just to throw a cover on and make lace. If I have to pad the roll, I might as well just make it from scratch. So I'll start with a piece of cement form cardboard tube and pad it with old wool blankets.
