How lovely that they are interested. Yes, I've seen people working on the opposite side of the same pillow. I'm sure it's harder but better than nothing while you get them started.
I taught children in an after-school class at the local school for a few years, and found the attached fish pattern by Sue Willis, to be about the right length to be completed in one lesson. Each lesson was 90 minutes long. I pre-wound the bobbins the first week, as that is not an exciting start to a lesson. First week was cloth stitch, 2nd week they worked it in cloth stitch and twist, 3rd week in half stitch. After that they could make some weed (with a footside) to make a picture or attach them to a hat or t-shirt. I am attaching my notes. I know these won't reach arachne, but I am assuming they will arrive in your own email address. I am attaching some instructions for making paper bobbins, which is something they could do at home between lessons to get their own bobbins. There are also instructions for bobbins made out of lollipop sticks and pony beads (but I can't find them - maybe someone else can forward them to you) Sue (in Illinois) [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/msword which had a name of Paper Bobbins by Brenda Paternoster.doc] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/msword which had a name of Fish Wst instructions.doc] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
