Sue T asked "I have read in the past of the various ways that people help
preserve the surface of a roller pillow..."
I think that the best thing to cover your roller with is wool fabric (old
blanket or clothes cut into strips and wound as tightly as possible round
the styrofoam centre. One thing you will have to consider is how much
space do you have so that the roller will still fit into its space, probably
not enough to fully protect the styrofoam centre.
I would mention that when you create your pattern do make sure it is longer
than the circumference of the roller so that you have a loop. This means
that as you are working and unpin from the back and pin at the front the
pins go into the pillow at a different place each time. I have been using
my travel pillow for a long time and the weakest part is where the large
holding pins go into the roller. There is a definite groove at each side
but the working surface is still holding the pins quite nicely and I didn't
do anything to the roller by way of padding.
Malvary in Ottawa (the Nation's capital) where we have a grey day with more
thunderboomers forecast for later.
