Hi Heather, I make Beds lace and use the Continental Square bobbins as they are less expensive when buying in bulk than a lot of other bobbins. I like the way they stay put on the pillow. I also have at least 16 pairs of Richard Pikul bobbins as I love the feel of his bobbins. I have enough for using on a Milanese pillow, which is my favorite lace.
Janice <So! If you were advising a beginner Beds lacer, what sort of bobbins should I order first? I am rather fond of the sleek look of the squared off continental. (I've a single pair of those, already) The very light continental bobbins that came with my kit are rolling like mad and driving me a bit mad, but when one is a beginner, everything feels like a challenge, so I can accept that I simply need to gain practice in bobbin taming.> Janice Blair Murrieta, CA, 60 miles north of San Diego www.jblace.com www.lacemakersofillinois.org - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
