Hi Mary You don't necessarily have to use a continental pillow with continental bobbins. It may be easier on a flat pillow as they don't roll around so much. It would also be easier to teach on a pillow you are familiar with. But perhaps you feel that she would manage better if taught to hold the bobbins rather than pick up and roll?

Have some continental bobbins I could try but need to think of making a pillow. Have seem them resting on stands and in baskets - has anyone on the list made one for themselves?
