Ulrike Loehr shared with us a simple technique for stopping this. Take two divider pins or hat pins. It is hard to put this into words, but place one at each side of the pricking, at the level of where you have reached in the lace. Angle them in at about 45 degrees, keeping them parallel with the edges of the pricking. So the head of the pin is leaning towards the bottom of the pricking and pillow. Then as you move your bobbins to the side, make sure that the threads go underneath this pin. It works a treat at keeping the lace on the pillow instead of in the air. Hope you can make sense of my description. Sue - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
