As I was saying.

That is always such a HUGE dilemma for me Miriam, but I would always try to see

Hi Jeanette and other spiders,
I am a new lace maker (tatting for 18 months and bobbin lace for 14 months).
I have been "lurking" on this list for a little while and felt it time to make
a contribution.

The lacemaker on top has similar bobbins. But you'll notice the pillows
are much fatter. It's possible this pillow was made narrow for just
making lace trims.

It looks to me like a Brazilian setup, but I've never actually seen one. We
had a visitor from Brazil who told me about a bobbin lace region in eastern
Brazil (a little south of the Amazon, I think). She said they used bobbins
with nuts on the ends, and I think she said it was a "fat" pillow. Th

printing of some kind on it in red ink.

The pillow's interesting in that it's almost shaped like a
large football (soccer ball) and has a "doughnut" stand. But what I
find
particularly interesting are the continental-style (in the loosest
description) bobbins, which seem to have nuts for the bulbous end, and
