If you want narrow bobbins but with a square end, you should check out the bobbins made by Richard Pikul in Canada. They are as slim as a midlands but flare out at the bottom.
You can see a sample on this website http://www.lacegazette.com/CLGbobbinlarge.html and you can contact him by email for a pdf brochure. rpi...@sympatico.ca I have enough for a Milanese pillow and I love the feel of his finish. He weights the ends inside with lead, but it does not cling to a magnet. Tried it. Wonder if he could weight them with something that would be more attractive to a magnet? My DD had a pair of bobbins made for me for a special occasion, and we have had them for commemorative bobbins at my guild. I used Paypal to buy some from him, so dealing with another country was no problem. No relation, just a satisfied customer who wishes she had unlimited funds.
