Even tensioning the threads causes it to shift around. So you should consider which issue is more important when you decide whether or not to use a heavier material (ie., plywood) on the bottom.-----
I don't have that problem because I work on a pillow stand that has two small posts to keep the pillow from pulling toward me off the stand. Most of what I've done on that pillow was Rosalibre, which uses coarse thread and lots of tugging and tensioning. A number of pillow stands have a stop of some sort at the front (the side facing the worker). Many tables used by lacemakers also have a stop, as they are often designed to tilt (writing desks, computer tables, etc.). I'd also like to welcome the lurkers that are speaking up. Please don't withdraw again! Even if you don't have an answer to a question, it doesn't mean you don't have opinions of value (did you try that? then tell us how it worked for you!), or questions that others also have but were afraid to ask, or ideas that could be useful to the rest of us. Honest, we old-timers (I've been on Arachne since a few months after it started, and been making lace for about 20 years) don't bite hard at al! <G> Most of us know only too well how much there still is for us to learn. And do tell us whereabouts (in general terms) you live. You might be surprised to find out there's a guild and/or a few Arachneans right around the corner! Robin P.
