Catherine Thank you for your comments. I work in my hand, but have tried using a pillow. Soon after I started to learn I was having terrible problems with tension, and some of our experts suggested that a pillow might help. So I had a tubular piece of polyethylene and used that for a while. It did help with tension, but was too light weight. I ended up spending too much energy keeping it in place. So I stopped using it. For this piece I didn't use a pillow at all. As I worked I bent and folded the piece so I could get my left hand close enough to the work to use it for nailing down the stitches. The hardest part was actually the edge. Because the work was fairly heavy and I ended up with 95% of it dangling from my left forefinger. It actually took considerable muscle to keep from dropping it again and again. But most of my pieces end up being fairly large, because I enlarge everything (eyesight problems). So I'll just have to get used to it and work out a system.
