That sounds like a smart idea Malvery, I hadn't thought of that, yet although I was wondering how wide would be ok on this pillow.
The way I am using the pillow at the moment I am able to place the edge bobbins off the working apron out of the way giving me enough room to work comfortably in the centre. I am sure there will be a no more than number though on this pillow. I can do both cant I, try working the pattern and find out what is a comfortable amount of bobbins to work. If it really is too much for this pillow I will go back to my falthful home made large block pillow which works very well but it was hoped that I could work these ongoing project on the roller pillow where ever we go (but if this year is anything to go by I can continue on with the block pillow, as were weren't able to get anywhere). Enjoy your holiday Malvery and save some sunshine for some of us being battered by wild winds and rain at the moment.

There is nothing more frustrating than finding that you don't have enoiugh room for your bobbins in the small space. I know that about 22 pairs is the maximum comfortablle on one pillow and the other fold-up to a carrying one it would be less. When you have designed your lace you might want to try a sample to see how it works before committing to a table-cloth length.
