Janice: sometimes you can leave a thread underneath the tally for it to sit on, but that may not quite work if you've got 6 threads to use for the tally. You don't really say if the tally is slumping to one side in particularly or just not 'behaving'. I've found that I sometimes have to take surplus twists off post rolling to help it sit a little better, and I use the Gate style of rolled tally.
Feel free to email off list if you want to bounce ideas off me to help problem solve. Sybil Carter: Can't say I recall seeing a recent article in PieceWork about her (I could be wrong though), but I know there is an article in an early issue of PieceWork about her. I'd have to go look at the physical issues to find it. I have a full set of PW, so it's not hard if people really want a reference. There are a few other docs around about her and her work. The Smithsonian Libraries have a document that appears to be authored by the Sybil Carter Lace Association, and there was an article about her in 1980 (pre-PW era).
