Thank you :) COOL idea, Patsy! About the stacking of foam circles on top for more pillows. Thanks for the suggestion. Altho I do have just as much fun making the tools of the trade as I do making the lace ;) Don't want to hinder my pillow acquisition<GGG> But I will remember this when I get to a convention and take classes. Nice to have the knowledge of experienced convention goers and lacemakers to find ways of making things easier on yourself. :) Mark, aka Tatman a bit cooler day than yesterday in Greenville, IL USA Www.tat-man.net
