I guess they hardly ever have rain there.

Actually if I am going a short distance that is exactly how I carry my
pillow. If it is raining <and here in the Pacific NorthWET it does it
a lot!> I simply toss a piece of a flannel backed plastic tablecloth
over the top to keep the rain out. This is a trick my first teacher
taught me. I still do secure down the bobbins with U-pins to keep them
straight but don't usually bother to put it in a case unless I am
going a long distance. In fact, I don't even have a case for my
pillow. I just slip it into a large storage tub.
