The only thing I dislike about making lace is the lack of full time
available to make it. Chores get in the way.
Winding bobbins is Zen time and contemplation of play time on the pillow....
a good thing.
Final sewing? hahahaha! There IS no final sewing for yardages. :))))
Talleys have become fun since I learned how to make them fast and reliably.
Most laces don't have enough of them to get the hang of it because there's
too much "other" stuff to interrupt the flow. This might be why Maltese has
whole fields of them.

Subject: [lace] Bobbin Lace Survey
As I sit here yet again avoiding the final sewing of my current lace piece
(the first of two interlocked hearts, only 12 pairs for goodness sake!), I
find myself pondering on what aspect of bobbin lace people dislike the most.
I know lacemakers who profess to dislike most - or even hate and avoid at
all costs - each of the following items. As you will have gathered, I fit
into the second bunch though I am quite happy doing numbers 1 and 3. So
which category do you fit in? (Sorry needlelacers and tatters!) Or is
there something else that should be on the list? I will happily summarise
the responses to the list in a couple of weeks so feel free to answer
privately. There are no wrong answers ...
1) Winding bobbins
2) Final sewing together
3) Tallies (leaves, squares, triangles, any other type)
Over to you in eager anticipation :-)
