Just saw this. I take it back about not bringing a pillow in need of
help to Adelaide ... Actually found 2 for 1 tickets on quantas flying
to Melbourne. We are told to "drive the ocean road to Adelaide". Is
that good advice? Won't pack a pillow. ,promise!!
Best regards,
Carrie

Helen, in Australia when we travel interstate by plane to attend the
annual
conference, we are not allowed to take our pillows onto the plane in
case we
run amok with a brass pin and stab someone!
Naturally enough, I was very reluctant to put my pillow in the hold
of the
plane, but had no option. So I tethered my bobbins with those large
knitting pins so that they couldn't become disordered, then I pinned
the
cover cloth in place. After that I put a sheet of bubble wrap over
the
pillow and tied it up on the cloth I use to carry the pillow
around. After
that (you can tell I'm a "bib and brace" type of person!) I wrapped
the
whole pillow in two layers of bubble wrap before putting the whole
thing in
a carry bag and asking the checkin staff to label the parcel
"FRAGILE"!!
If your pillows are going into a box, I don't think you'd need the
outer
cloth....but consider copious use of bubble wrap!! I've never had a
broken thread (and I was using Egyptian 120 on at least one
occasion) due to
plane travel yet.

Greetings All,
I have a question and I'm sure there will be plenty with some sage
advice
for me.
I will be relocating this summer, from Colorado to Washington
(state), and I
would like some advice please, on how to best pack a couple of my
pillows
that have projects in progress on them.
