I bought an oval pillow from the lace suppliers in Scotland - the name is something like Central Scotland Lace Suppliers. It's the equivalent of a 24 inch round pillow, but with two chunks chopped off so that it has parallel straight sides. The advantage of this shape is that it's easier to reach all of the pillow, especially the centre, than a circular one. The shape almost matches a fan so would be good for that. However I'm not sure that this will meet your domed requirements, it is almost flat. I find it interesting that you want a domed pillow for Bruges bobbins. When I use Midlands bobbins I like a domed pillow, or use a flat pillow on the diagonal. When I use Binche bobbins that can roll, I prefer my pillow to be as close to horizontal as I can get it, so that the bobbins have no gradient to roll along when I put them down. -- All of my REALLY GOOD signatures are 1 character too lon Steph Peters, Manchester, England [EMAIL PROTECTED] Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
