It has occurred to me, though I have never met him, that David may be a good deal taller than most of the women on Arachne, and he may be looking at his pillow from a different vantage point. This could make it easier for him to see where to position pins, and to not miss any. Not only do women tend to be shorter, they actually shrink as they age. And a great many current lacemakers cannot claim youth as an attribute. (I have shrunk, and so have several friends.) This means we have to stretch or sometimes stand when working at lace pillows - in order to see what our lace looks like and if we need to retro-lace to make a correction!
