Lace pillows can be carried vertically or horizontally. I think that the bobbins would have to be secured for a journey whichever style you chose. This is a link to an example of a bag which carries the pillow horizontally. http://www.tiny.cc/0jmmJ This one shows a vertical bag. http://www.tiny.cc/uLutQ I have made both kinds of bag and personally prefer a vertical bag to carry the pillow with handles long enough to use on my shoulder, this isn't possible with the horizontal type. I used the ebay examples purely for illustration as I haven't bought from either of these sellers. > Also, how can you make the 'wooden' bobbin holders, rather than > using stitch holders > Tongue depressors are a better choice than card, these are probably available from a chemist or make a google search, together with some round cord elastic. It is necessary to drill two holes at one end and to cut two v shaped notches at the other end. Thread the elastic through the holes and knot together leaving enough length of elastic when slightly stretched to hook the loop onto the notches. I've never made any but friends have made them.
