Hi Clay and everyone As a result of a discussion about this early on in the arachne-e-mail-list existence, I once tried making lace on a cone-shaped 'roller' pillow of my making, to produce a 4-corner-square edging (I think someone at the time posted directions; if they did, I didn't keep them and I don't think the archives go back that far). I didn't get past the first corner, discovering that the cone part has to be precise to fit the respective corner - or it won't work out evenly. If you were making a lot of pieces the same size, that would be ok. Otherwise you need to suit the cone to the pricking each time, and it is only good for a square edging, not a rectangle - as far as I can understand. After this little experiment, I didn't pursue using cone-shaped pillows any further.
I hope others who have had more success will let us know! On 8/5/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > And, BTW, I wonder how useful the cone shape really is for corners.
