Thanks again for all your suggestions about bobbins and pillows. If I decide
to try a bolster pillow, does anyone know of a supplier in the UK? I haven't
yet seen a supplier who sells them Or do you have to order them from the
continent?

I don´t work the lace by putting my hands under the bobbins. I work from the

Depends on the type of bolster you want. You *should*, but that doesn't

I have had both wrists operated for carpal tunnel syndrome and I also have
