Hi Dee, Try slanting the pillow so you are working with the pattern at an angle facing you. You may have to put a "blocker" to keep the pillow from sliding down-forward, but it is worth a try. Happy Lacemaking,Betty Ann

Has anyone any tips on how to get over this, or is it just a case of slogging on with it until I have worked enough for it to be within easy reach?
