When doing a demonstration, I usually have a display board on legs behind me with my lace pinned on it for display. I feel it is safer that way.
If I have to leave my pillow, I slot knitters stitch-holders through the spangles (like I do when carrying the pillow from A to B,) then cover them over with the cover cloth, leaving the lace and working area still on show. If anyone tries to nick a bobbin, - well, they have to take the whole bunch! Each stitch holder holds about 9 Pairs of bobbins. They are not too easy to undo to remove just one or 2 bobbins, - especially if they are stacked overlapping each other.
