Quite obviously, this was meant to go to the entire list, so I'm

shortly there after. It took me about 20 minutes to straighten
everything out.
Hi Andy and All,
I think that almost all lace makers have had tis happen at one time or
another. At least you have learnt that it is possible, (usually) to
recover from such a disaster. My last similar such incident was when my
pillow, with a fan nicely set up, 75+ pairs was parked on my pillow
stand. Now the stand has a top that can be tilted at different angles
and I had neglected to tighten the mechanism enough. With so many
bobbins the weight distribution was uneven and sufficient to slowly tip
the top. The trouble was I could see this happening and I couldn't
reach it in time!
Amazingly no broken threads and eventually, bit by bit, all was sorted
and the pillow back on a different stand without a moveable top!
