Hello Lesley
The main thing is that you need to pin everything down to the cover
cloth *very* securely and bundle it up so that nothing can move around
and you can hold the whole bundle in one hand whilst you use the other
hand to remove and replace the pins. Then take your time, support the
bundle, remove the pins carefully, move the lace up and replace at
least an inch of pins before you think about unwrapping the bundle.
The only other bit of advice, which is too late for you, is to learn to
move up from the beginning. If you move it when there are only 10 or
12 pairs it's not so daunting as jumping in with 45 pairs!
I'm sue it will go OK

If I'm to continue with the current piece of lace, I'm going to have
to move it up the pillow, and I'm very worried about doing it - a new
aspect of lace making for me. I'm making a piece about 3 1/2" wide
with about 45 pairs of bobbins and would be so grateful for any tips
about the task of moving it. I have several versions of written
instructions on how to do it, but anything practical that anyone has
to offer will be gratefully received.
