What a good idea to put a drawtape around the edges! I sometimes put my
round pillows in the centre of a tablecloth (size of table cloth depends on
size of pillow ...) then just knot the opposite corners on the top, and cart
the pillows around holding the knots. I do have some lovely pillow bags
too, and I do think they are easier than the tablecloths, but I have too
many pillows, and not enough pillow bags to take them all ... However, I
am also a bit of a 'belt and braces' person where bobbins and pillows are
concerned, so I always anchor my bobbins down with wide elastic, and many
glass-topped pins, just in case. And for the same security reasons, and
because I 'have pillow, will travle' and am always toddling off to
demonstrate, I also anchor my thread to the bobbins with a slip knot, so
that if the bobbins do run, they don't come adrift from the threads!

I made a huge circle (it
was between 60-72" wide), with a drawstring at the outer edge. He had to
play
on that mat, and when done, we could just pull the string on two sides and
all
was contained.
I don't see why you couldn't just make a large circle of a lovely fabric
and
do the same thing with your bobbin lace project, adjusting the
circumference
to your needs. > To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
