I cut old bed sheets into suitable for sizes for dressing cloths (that's
what I call the one I put over the pricking and under the bobbins and
threads and for wrapping the bobbins for travel) and cover cloths placed
over the pillow to keep dust, etc off when not being worked on.
I haven't done any for a while, but when I design a piece of machine
embroidery or want to try out a bought design, I put them on my cover cloth.
So far I have Ben, my border collie who passed away a couple of years ago
and several attempts at the Poole Bobbin Lace Circle logo both designed by
me, and a bolster pillow with work in progress and pair of spangled bobbins
hanging from a "piece of lace" which were commercially produced. Not only
does it brighten my cover cloth, but it gives me somewhere to try a machine
embroidery before committing it to a finished item.
