My travel pillow has an apron of about 17 inches using the centre flap and
both sides of the box shape. I do lay some of the bobbins off the edge of
the gap between the front and the back, but might be tempted to try making a
bib shaped thing to lay over it all and connect the two, as some
Hi Sue and Arachnids,
Usually I use stitch holders -preferably the straight ones with a spring-
through the spangles to keep my bobbins in groups and in order if I am using
Midland type bobbins. I use crocheted lengths for continental bobbins. A row
of chain followed by a row of doubles
I also have used the stitch holders, but have recently found these craft
things (still cant remember what they are called:-) are kinder on my

Hi Sue and Arachnids,

I thought that when I saw another lady using them:-) I have bought quite a
few of the stitch holders and also bought a couple of the wooden things with

I use the wooden slats because I nearly always use continental bobbins. The
wooden slats are great for stacking piles of continental bobbins out of the
way for a Flanders piece, for instance. They aren't so good for transporting
the pillow safely. For that purpose the crochetted strips work
I totally agree that it depends on what kind of bobbins you use. When you have
300+ bobbins on your pillow, it is crucial that you can stack the bundles, or
you'd never be able to manage that number. I've found that not all paddles are
created equal though... I prefer the wider ones made by
I am using a homemade block pillow at the moment which is about 24 inches
wide,
It is a D shape with moveable blocks down the middle. I made it to go

designed, which
is also called Alice, after my deceased MIL. I probably
Thank you all so much for all the information about how you made up roller
pillows.
I am going to put all the info onto one word doc so I can print them out and
read through and see what works best. I think I am going to try to cover the
current new one a bit to protect is as much as I can but
Subject: [lace] roller pillows
In 2005 I had a fire at my house and lost all of my lace pillows. About 3
years ago I decided to take it up again and started from
