Dear MaryCarmen; My information is from last fall, but I've been taking my lacemaking stuff on the plane for years. As you know, they don't worry about pins in a lace pillow. Nor do they worry about sewing needles. Nonetheless, I only carry on the pins I will need for the flight, just in case some airline person doesn't understand. You can carry on scissors as long as they have the blunt ends commonly used in elementary school. One note however. Make sure your pillow will fit on the tray. A pillow about the size of a laptop is what you want. There is an ethafoam round travel pillow that will take a sort of roller, but I like it as a cookie pillow. Also it doesn't add weight.
