Dear Arachnids During the many years I have been making lace I have met many lacemakers with physical problems including one of the thalidamide victims, and she overcame her difficulties with great dermination. She used large Continental style bobbins and glassheaded pins, the latter she would transfer from her pincushion with her mouth and press them in with a finger. If you have a problem with the more standard methods of working by all means use any method that makes it easier. We make lace for the enjoyment of making it and producing an item of beauty, why not avoid anything that reduces either and by all means carry on handling bobbins by the spangles if it is more comfortable.
