Hi all, I use cover cloths a lot, sometimes covering my entire pillow; so I know from experience that Two (2) problems can result in regard to the shredding of threads and cover cloths:
1.) The longer the working thread between the pricking and the bobbins, the more likely it WILL rub on the cover cloth. 2.) A cover cloth edge that is not stretched tightly over the working area WILL bubbly up and possibly rub against the threads. It takes diligence to watch both of these things each time you adjust your cloths. Overfilling the bobbin, causing the thread to sit on the cover cloth or pillow, and be pushed back and forth, etc. is not a cover cloth problem but certainly is a no-no. An over-filled bobbin shoves lint and pillow dust into the thread fibers. It would be beneficial to watch all of these problems while setting up the working pillow.
