Hi Dee...
I completely understand what you're saying. This is one reason to use a
pillow with moveable blocks. You're able to start the piece in a
comfortable place, and only move it up as you work. My large pillow is
rectangular, because I reasoned that the space at the "back" was
wasted... I just needed the space on the sides. This has been a good
configuration for me. You may want to try it sometime.

I have two larger pillows, but use them as little as possible. I find
stretching over them when I start a pattern is very hard on my
shoulders and arms, so I now prefer smaller pieces or edgings which I
can make on smaller pillows or block pillows.

Subject: [lace] larger pillows?
A larger pillow is definitely advantageous! Clay is right on there. I
took a lace class from Geraldine Stott once, and we asked her about
working with a lot of bobbins; her advice was just that...get a bigger
pillow. When probed as to how big you might need, she said she had one
that she had to hold slanted to the side to get it through a door!
