I have watched this thread with interest! Personally, I would not attempt a large pattern without my engineering felt! I have several pieces of difference sizes which makes it easy to build up to a size I might want. Engineering felt is very suitable for putting pins in and is about 1 to 1.5 cm. thick; using pieces of difference sizes makes it easy to move a pattern around so that it is at the most convenient place for working. I also have a very big piece which I am using at present and this is also quite good but I think on balance I prefer my patchwork of pieces! They are easy to move while working because the pattern runs over their edges and keeps them together and also the pins are well pushed into them. I think it makes more sense to use a method that allows for moving your work around, (either as I suggest or by using blocks) rather than standing up to work or propping up the pillow and still having to stretch a long way. The main thing is to use a method that allows YOU to be comfortable as you work and to enjoy it! Just my 2 cents worth! Sue Fink, Masterton, New Zealand
