Well Sue, it just shows that I am not too old to learn more tricks. Must try
it next time. It never occurred to me to think of your way.

Hi Marcie,
I think its mostly the perspective - but from what I can see, the tension in
the lace isn't all that crash hot, which could mean that the lace shrank a bit
after the pins were taken out...after all lace *does* shrink when the pins are
removed anyway, and in my experience, poor tension ma
Is it just the perspective or does the lace appear to be very much
smaller than the pricking?

I've seen these pillows with several different shaped bobbins - and these are
consistent with some of my sightings. I'm wondering if the pillows and bobbins
were made (probably under licence) in different places, and therefore the
bobbins differed a little according to the maker.

The bad news is that you need to use at least 2 grades of sandpaper to get
rid of all the hairs and notches on your bobbins. Start with #100 garnet
paper which will remove the notches and hairs. Then move on to #200 and
#400. It is important to use a tack cloth or to carefully vacuum off

I think it's the same thick felt that used to be placed under manual
typewriters (half to three quarters of an inch thick). If you work in an
older office it might be worth looking in the store cupboards to see if any
have been stashed there and forgotten.
