One of our members comes from France and I saw her using the
leather/vinyl cover cloth. I've made myself a couple and they do seem
to speed up the bobbins - maybe I should get them out to work Mum's
tablecloth. :-) Brigitte works with continental bobbins on a flat
pillow............. I guess its the way you were taught but I find my
slightly raised cookie pillow with spangled bobbins no trouble at all.
Cheers,
Shirley T. - heading for 40C on Friday and Saturday. Hot weather
coming your way ladies but I think Chelle might be sending us some rain
shortly????

Wow- two digests in one day.
I was about to reply to Elenas question when the second digest popped up
containing more or less things that I might have said.
I too watched the amazing elderly lady in the window at Kantcentrum and
was intrigued by the leather cover cloth on her pillow. An instructor was
taking a novice class in the same room and I asked her about the leather.
It is to enable the bobbins to slide very quickly and smoothly across the
pillow while making several stitches in a row. They have pieces of
leather-like vinyl that students are encouraged to use as confidence grows.
I also saw that, working palms down and fingers bent, all her fingers were
used with bobbins held between the knuckles.
