Hi Clay and other Arachnids, I've lost the posting, but Clay talked about using transparent arrows to mark her place versus a ghost pillow. (I refuse to call it an "idiot board"--no one who can successfully make bobbin lace at any level is an idiot!!)
I just wanted to note that I started with transparent arrows and was spending more time finding my way in spite of the arrows than I found it took to put the second pin into the ghost pillow. I'm sure it has to do with level of expertise, but I'd recommend to anyone starting a complicated piece that a ghost pillow is much more helpful until one gets enough experience to know where one is almost all the time, then the transparent arrows are sufficient. In any case, Clay's suggestion of having a "flag pin" to mark the last pin placed is a good one for both methods. Just my two cents worth.
