<<< For projects where you choose to use "Thumpers", or continental bobbins which don't have spangles, most lace vendors carry a bobbin holder that is wood and has an elastic cord that holds the bobbins in place - and in order. >>> Why spend so much money? Craft shops may sell flat wooden sticks, cut a < on both tips. Elastic rubber bands can sit in the <'s.
