how did you find plastic bobbins? i would have loved to have at least
tried them. probably better not to have, but now after i bought the
wood ones at least if i can get to a class i'll have enough nice
looking continentals to cover the pillow. i would have hated to go
with a hundred little hand rolled paper ones. i'm sure they definitley
wouldn't mind, but it would have made me feel bad all the way through
looking at all those expensive bobbins on every one elses pillows. it
really takes a long time to buy (without going into debt all at once)
proper lace equipment.
what size bead do you think would be best? please size by milimeter or
what ever that measurement is. i apologize that i am still into inches
and feet for measuing. i probably will bypass the middle one being
heaviest and string them all up with tree different types of beads
evenly spaced between each other by the other two styles. i just don't
know what size the largest should be. i want to go one big, one
smallest size, one two sizes bigger than smallest size, one smallest
size, and then one big.
i'm really planning to visit one of the menonite villages near here
this fall and i'm sure they give classes. i can bobbin lace wrong all
day and even for a life time and never know it until i get in a class
with others while being instructed to do it right. i really think that
it is best. i don't want to go without the proper equipment.
by the way what size pins do you use for size 50 thread? i used 17 and
i think that is why i'm having a problem with my plastic coated
pricking. i used paper before, and i liked it a lot better. i could
put pins in it any where i needed to. i can't now. i'm really doing
terrible now. i'm sure i need a size 14 or something like that.
