David, When I was working on a Flanders piece I ran into a situation where I had to take a pair of workers all the way aross the pillow and back. I was too lazy to bind up the extra bobbins just to have to unbind them again half a minute later. So I used a cover cloth that I placed on top of the bobbins I had just passed through. Then I worked the other bobbins on top of the cover cloth. When I got to the other side of the pillow and started working back I worked until I got to the bobbins that were under the cover cloth. Then I bound up the bobbins I had just passed through, uncovered the bobbins that had been under the cloth and continued working.
This did result in a very lumpy work surface, but I found that slowing down to work on the lumpy surface was not as bad as taking the time to bind and unbind the bobbins. I am not sure I completely understand your situation, so this suggestion may not work. But perhaps it will trigger an idea.
