When faced with not being able to get a large 9 square pillow in my back pack that needed to be checked on a airplane, I cut the support board underneath in half. Using 3 piano hinges on the bottom, it folded in half, the two back sides together. On the two sides, where the edges come together, I put a hook and an eye to keep the sides together. I had to cut 3 of the large squares in half, that when folded, each side had 3 full squares and 3 half squares. I usually have my piece of lace on one of the large squares. When I need to transport it, I push that large square out of the middle so that the pillow will fold. I also have another folding pillow, which is 2/3 of the size of my large pillow. Both have been transported often in my backpack, and the smaller one in my 22 inch suitcase. I made my pillow pieces out of 1 inch pink or blue insulation, covered with one layer of shrunken wool material, which was then covered with dark blue cotton material. Very inexpensive, easy to transport, and they fold out to a good size to work on. I build the pillow frame first, with sides that rise 1 1/8 inch above the bottom. They are glued to the bottom, and then also nailed together at the corners. A few nails also up through the bottom into that little edge board.
