Having made bobbin lace for the last 20 years I always return to my
sawdust pillow for 'good' pieces of lace. I know, they are very heavy
to cart about but I've never had to add any more sawdust to it in all
this time. After finishing a piece of lace I just turn it upside down
on a cover cloth on the floor and do a happy dance around the circle
(keeps me fit too :-)) and voila it's as good as new.

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.
