I have been watching video footage of bobbin lace being made and noticed the
very short amount of thread between last worked pin and the top of the bobbin
and wondered what most of you all do.  When I first began making lace I think
I was told about 3 or 4 inches as a norm and must admit that anything other
than 3 feels incredibly short.  Most of what I do is torchon though and
wondered if this was the reason, a reasonable number of bobbins in use on the
pillow where this was a tape type lace using less than 10 pairs I think.
