I usually plait between sections where I am going to cut the lace. I make
the lace long enough to work into the seams of the pillowcase (allowing for
shrinkage) and then plait down for an inch or two before starting the next
piece of lace. It saves re-winding and is psychologically less stressful to
cut the plaits!

pillowcases as birthday gifts for my daughter and DIL. I had decided to
make
a continuous strip of lace and cut it to fit the pillowcase as the edges
of
the lace will be caught in the side seam of the pillowcase. Now that it
is
finished, I am going to need a lot of courage to cut it! The alternative
was to wind bobbins between each short strip and that is not an option
either!!
