Hello Jo,
You are right, some do have special meanings, but I am not the right
person to answer. Perhaps our danish and english members could and will
do so.

When I had a very basic roller pillow with no satisfactory anchor to
stabilise the roller I found the most effective way to hold it was by using a piece of
tape or ribbon over the top of each end of the roller with the front ends
pinned into the pillow near the roller (they are mainly needed to
The roller pillow I've got isn't very fancy and the method used to hold the
roller in place is a smaller wooden wedge. You just insert it between the
roller and the side of the hole it sits in. It holds well enough so I'd
think having even a really small one on each side would hold a roller in

I just now realize you are wanting to put the roller temporarily onto the

Hello Jo and lace list
I think it's safe to say that overall we don't attach any meaning to the
spangles, they are for weight only (and of course we like them to look
nice). Individual lacemakers might have a particular bead or button for
luck. Having a black button on your lace pillow is a good
I did try wedges first, but I think that perhaps the roller didn't sit very
deeply into the hole, and it was just a roller with no central dowel to slide
into grooves. It literally pushed into the box and the hole was not very
deep. I think that maybe the maker thought it fitted tightly

The following has nothing to do with Anne-Marie's specific problem, but
I thought it might be of interest, particularly as the use of a wedge
as a stopper has been mentioned before.

When we were in Turkey a few years ago, the only lace I could find was
needlelace. If you are in Istanbul there is a weekend 'faire' not sure what they

Thanks, Jenny; you saved me a lot of trouble trying to find it (I could
see it wasn't blue, therefore not a one-click access),

luck. Having a black button on your lace pillow is a good omen, according
to an English lacemaker I met - which might have been a regional
superstition from some time ago.

I don't know if it would help anyone, but my roller pillow has a small hole
in the back board of the pillow and I use a long hatpin to keep the roller
still. It can be moved back and forth as you like,the pins will push down
when you need to turn it back.
The hole is about the size of a three

Hi, I have a small roller pillow which was never very stable. Large pins only
damaged the covering material.
I decided that it needed 2 wedges so I made them of polystyrene in the shape
of a horseshoe, the thickness of which was obviously tapered.
The idea worked so I asked a wood turner to
