This is what I do for a travel pillow or a display pillow. I also use interesting pins, when I can. It can be time consuming, but so pretty Short story on myself...when I started lacing, BC...before computers...having only books, few tho' they were, I kept reading about a "yarn tie" for holding bobbins at rest. I can hardly remember how many ways I tried to devise a "yarn tie".....lots and lots ...until one day I saw a picture and my 'lace light bulb' flashed once more.
Re-member I lived in rural Louisiana, and one knew what I was trying to do.....I did not know what I was trying to do!!!!!! No IOLI, had never seen lace being made, no computers and until about 1979 not one single lace friend. Then I met Doris Southard and my whole world changed.....Thanks Doris ;-) BarbE ----- Original Message ----- e From: Panza, Robin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 12:13 PM Subject: RE: [lace] Stacking Bobbins Then there's the prettiest method for securing bobbins--use a long piece of ribbon. Fold it in half and put the first bobbin against the fold. Twist the two halves and put in the next bobbin. Twist again between every bobbin. When you get to the end, tie a pretty bow and pin the whole affair down at both ends (and intermediate points, if you want). You can have ribbons that match your pillow and/or accessories, and ribbons to coordinate with your projects if you work in color a lot. Very decorative, and it works for Midlands and Continentals. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
