Hello Alice
You could use a heavy cardboard tube instead of dowel, that would
reduce the amount of woollen fabric required. It doesn't really matter
what the apron/table is made of but a layer of wool blanket will smooth
out any irregularities, just ensure you stretch it tightly so that it
can'r ruche up as you handle the bobbins.
I wouldn't use a pile fabric for the cover - go for a plain weave
cotton, in a plain colour or if you are thinking about trying freehand
lace with pins only at the head and foot edges use a striped fabric for
the roller.

I am making a roller pillow and would ask those of you that have made
rollers what you used for filling. I am going to cut some lightweight
wool
fabric to roll on the dowel, but I wonder if something else can be
used first,
cutting down on the amount of wool fabric needed. I would think that
only
the last inch or so would need to be wool. Then the cover. I am
planning on
cotton velveteen for that. I will pad the table with a wool blanket.
Should this also be used on the roller? Any hints or tips for me?
