thanks for the reply. i didn't think anyone had mentioned it too often here, so it must not be very popular for a reason. the acetate did sound like a better option. it would be easier to push the pins in and work over the lace than to try to pull the thread a little higher over a wedge. i don't see how i could do a picot very well with it, but then again i am not very experienced either. the cover cloth would seem to work nicely, but how would i get all those bobbins inside the whole without getting them tangled!?! i'm not sure i could do it that way. both ways are cheap enough to try.
