Can I ask all you lacemakers out there about pillows. I have 3 Dryad 18 inch domed (cookie) pillows all now with soft squidgy middles and a 2o/22? inch flat round one which I am about to use in place of the domed one, not much used yet. All are polystyrene commercially made. I am considering whether to buy another 18 domed one to replace all three old ones but when looking in the UK I only found one of the three sites I looked at with 18 domed, most of them were various sizes of flat round. I Cant Manage With The Staw Pillows which are just too heavy for me to lift about or to rest on my legs which I need to put up part of most days.
If I/When I buy a new pillow I want to be able to protect it and use it to keep it in the best useable condition that I can from the very start. What do you put over to protect the pillow but allowing it be ok to put pins in and out? The first one I did put a towel over the top under the cloth cover and it hurt like crazy putting pins in, so that was no good (no idea where that idea came from). I think that maybe felt underneath might bring tufts of colour back up into the lace.
