This is in the US, but there are two reviewers who did use it for lace pillows. I bought a sheet, but have not tried cutting or using yet. It seems firm without being hard. They shipped it flat. I plan to make blocks with it.

I cut two circles of wool and put it over the top, fastening them down on the sides with pins. I then pulled the cover over all of it very tightly and it looks like it will work fine.

Our group in Calgary as been looking into getting a sheet of it. It comes in different ensities and I'm not sure which density is best for a lace pillow. he only supplier in Calgary will only sell wholesale to businesses so e are looking at ordering some though someone who purchases it from hem. If any of you know which density is best I'd appreciate your omments.

My DH did play earlier at cutting out a small circle in the centre of the worst of the pillows and putting some dark green foam stuff (sleeping mat for camping I think) to fill the hole. Was an interesting experiment. I did purchase a pillow from someone who had given up lacemaking, some years ago which was a polystyrene pillow but had a piece of carpet underlay over that, but has been used soooooo much now that even that has deteriarated. I did swap it over onto one in better condition and throw away the original pillow a year or so ago. So I am off to prepare bobbins for the next piece and work it on the flat circle and see how I get on with it, I haven't used it very much. Thank you to all of you who have answered me, I wont have time this evening to reply to all of you, but I am very grateful. Sue T Dorset UK Hello Sue and everyone I have kept several poly pillows going by putting on them a layer or two of fun foam (as Sue Babbs mentioned) and a layer of wool fabric over that, doesn't need to be felted but it should be wooly (as opposed to smooth, cool worsted), then a cover cloth, then the pricking etc. On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 4:20 AM, Sue <[email protected]> wrote: 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.
