Thanks, Bev! I have my doubts about the usefulness of cones on corners, given the precision I have to take to make it work on a standard roller! But I'm always open to new discoveries, and so I'll look forward to seeing what others have been able to accomplish with other pillows.
Clay -- Clay Blackwell Lynchburg, VA USA -------------- Original message -------------- From: bevw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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!

Since most corners require a 90 degree adjustment in the pattern, I'm mystified as to how a conical shape would help make that transition - and then allow the straight-lace work for infinitely changing lengths of lace. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
