Thank you Jacquie,
Will consider all this when designing or choosing a pattern, both across and
pattern repeat. Will certainly work a sample piece to prove it works, or
not, on the pillow, it works with the thread and I like it enough to go all
the way around a rectangle table cloth. I had already decided to gather
around the corners for the cloth as it would be way too complicated to do
corners on this project. I did work corners on my napkins in 2008 but that
was nicely challenging not horribly difficult which this might be.
I am expecting to be able to loose wrap and bag the yardage of lace and
allow it to come up over the cover cloths (which will be protecting
everything from the pins, and there is room above the roller to take soft
sausage rolled lace...I hope), but thank you for making me think that
through.
I might still resort to working this on my big home made block pillow if I
choose to make a wider than will fit on the block and just working it at
home, and just find a pretty set of narrow edgings to keep on the travel
pillow to take and work when away from home. I like to take lace to work
on trips more than 2 nights long, and eventually I can perhaps make a
christening gown or something with lace strips and good quality cloth. Or
else to use to decorate around hanky edges or ring pillow, or something
similar.

get this far south, I dont like it:-)
The other thing to consider when working on a roller is the length of the
pattern repeat. Because of the curve of the roller, the optimum sweet
spot
to work on is usually only about 2 inches maximum. If you are doing a
wider edging with a longer repeat you will find you have to keep dodging
about

Our gas was to be cut off today so DH got up early and put both the
