Hello Ann
Yes, use the Bruges pivot pin method.
The first time you work that pinhole in the usual way (by working
through the last passive in cloth stitch, twist the workers and stick
the pin). On the next and subsequent times you come to that pin work
until the last pair of passives, twist the worker pair and wrap the
worker pair behind the pin, over and under the passive pair and
continue. The wraps of thread from the worker pair will stack up on
the pin. As soon as you've finished that pinhole and got one or two
more pins stuck remove the pivot pin and tension gently. The stack of
threads should then all lie down close to each other.
If you work with the footedge on the right, English fashion, you will
wrap clockwise, if it's on the left, continental fashion, you will wrap
anti-clockwise.

I am working a piece of lace that on a corner needs one of the inner
pins to be worked into at least six or seven times. As this is more
times than I would normally use one pin hole does anyone know of a
neat way of doing this to avoid bulkiness or holes.
