Thanks for the warning about the "horror kit". I know exactly which one you are talking about and I had already decided to buy The One and Only lace maker cookie with wheel from Snowgoose. T thought $28.00 was a good price and I like the idea of the wheel so I don't have to keep moving the pattern. I can see where I could get very confused. The bobbins I think I will get Midland style as I like the idea of the little knob at the top where you can put the hitch. Andy in Texas

I live in a small town in Australia, no lace teachers, so I taught myself from a book and got (and still get) lots of help from the list over the years. Please consult us before you purchase any equipment - there are a couple of things to be warned about, like a "horror" kit for beginners which should be avoided at all costs! Perhaps there is a member already in your area who might be able to help get you started. >From the signature line on your email, you sound like the kind of person who >will enjoy this group a lot!
