Robin I am so sorry for your tipped pillow. This happened to me once in a class, Bridget Cook was the instructor. I was trying to untangle each thread caught on the pins. She said no no, and to my horror picked up my pillow turned it upside down and gave it a little shake or two and all the threads fell away from the pins! We have had many cats over the years and I have had to use the untangle method a couple of times. I would imagine if your spangles are too heavy you might break a thread, but I have been lucky and not broken a thread when shaking.
I was on the list many years ago and just recently came back to lace, I am a lurker but thought you could relate to my little story. I still have a binder with copies of all the good info I had gleaned from the list. Cherre in the beautiful starting a little early getting hot California desert.
