I once met a lacemaker at the NSW Lace Guild meetings in Sydney who uses plastic Midlands bobbins with PVC tubing on them. It seems to work great with those with arthritis, etc. I am hoping to get some thicker ones made myself after trying some of Noelene's continentals as I too am having trouble with the thin ones. Who cares how the stick is passed, as long as the lace is made with as little pain as possible.
