I've never had any problems making sewings with spangled bobbins because, like Jean, you just need to make a larger loop for the spangled bobbin to fit through. When I was in the Prairie Rose Lacemakers group in North Dakota, we had lots of lacemaking workshops & brought in teachers such as Holly Van Sciver, Judy Aycock, & Marni Harang (sp?), among others. All of us in PRL used spangled bobbins. Our workshops consisted of Milanese lace, Russian tape lace, Schneeberg, & more, & we all used spangled bobbins & no one, including the teachers, ever had a problem with them. Shirlee

It saves a lot of hassle if you lengthen the leash on the bobbin that is hooked through the pin hole, so giving a much bigger loop to put the other bobbin through. I know it takes a little extra time to lengthen then shorten the leash, but that is offset against the frustration of struggling with spangles which get caught against threads. No contest.
