The other thing to remember if you are cutting your own blocks (and I think most bought pillows have them) is to have two half blocks. These are most useful to move your work - you don't always want to move a whole block and the half blocks make life soooo much easier. You never work on the half blocks they are just used to move the lace around.
The pillow I'm using at the moment has extra wide blocks and I am able to do two strips of my curtain at the same time, but it doesn't come with half blocks and sometimes it is either quite a stretch to reach where I'm working or I have all the bobbins hanging off the bottom into my lap.

After the wettest July ever recorded (in fact it was the wettest month ever recorded) this is welcome. Even hotter tomorrow and Monday. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here. For help, write to arachnemodera...@yahoo.com
