Many thanks to all who wrote—Clearly experience speaks volumes!! I must say I would never have thought of using a wire wrapped dowel or rubber bands. I truly appreciate your advice on the weekend especially as I was hoping to make progress before Monday. There are definitely “groups” that can be worked while others “rest” although I found it a bit of a challenge unless the working threads are overly long. After considering all your suggestions, combined with what I have on hand in our tiny condo, I decided to try the “tuning fork” bobbin holders I bought at a Flanders class—ironically from Annick! I did use divider pins plus one flat holder but the elastic is fiddly to use without a flat pillow. All I can say is my hat is off to anyone who manages lots of bobbins on a bolster! This might be something I need to see/learn in person? So far my Rube Goldberg set up is slightly faster than before. But—Anna—you have hit the nail on the head. This might be easier on a different pillow. I do have a wide roller pillow that I could try before I embark on making/buying a block pillow. I posted a photo on Flickr & yes I realize it looks like something MacGyver would make! ;-) I also posted a pic of another small Binche ornament from “Christmas by Kumiko”. They are in Photostream. Thanks again & enjoy what’s left of your weekend! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, South Florid
