Sue, I have used magic threads. And I don't think I would like the 'excess' of a piece of Styrofoam on my pillow.
What I did was use threads in the color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet or 'Roy G Biv". By just remembering the 'Roy G Biv', you know the order they should be worked no matter how many times you need to move the anchor pin and threads as you proceed around the design. If necessary (you need more than 7 threads, just repeat the sequence. I used pale shades of the colors to avoid 'lint' build up. I learned this 'rainbow sequence' many years ago in some other craft. Lorri Graham, WA USA where it is very cold and some locations are getting snow. I wonder if it would help to pin them into a strip of styrofoam. It seems to me that it would then be an easy matter to move them around the pillow as the work progressed!! Does this sound a good idea? I would appreciate comments.
