I didn't see an answer to this part of your question yet. I have heard it recommended to have more than one person on this job. Lay the cloth out on the floor. If you have extra people around, put one or two on the far end of the cloth to keep tension on it, and put one-two-three people on the roller end, depending on the width of your intended pillow. If you wish, tape the starting edge to the center cylinder. Roll carefully, keeping a tight tension on it all the way. If there is only you to do the whole deed, put some heavy books, a heavy chair, some bricks, or something heavy on the far end of the fabric to give you something to tension against. Roll carefully, keeping the fabric taut. Scoot the books, etc, out of the way when you reach the end. Pin down the fabric so it can't unroll before you get it properly finished. If it's to be a large diameter roller, start with a larger central cylinder. All kinds of things have been mentioned at times ....coffee cans, plastic pipes, mailing tube. Be creative. Have fun with your bolster.
