Dear Alex & fellow Arachnids,
Alex you hit the nail on the head. Use the bobbins you are comfortable with
but also; use them with the pillow you feel comfortable with using. Spangled
midlands bobbins can be used on a flat pillow as well as continentals and
continentals can be used on a slightly domed pillow. There are just a couple
of provisos; Honiton bobbins work better on a domed pillow as they are very
lightweight and on travelpillows one works more easily with the slightly
shorter bobbins whether they be spangled midlands travellers or the shorter
continentals.
Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK were the sun is shining but it is
a little cooler than the last week has been.

Many years ago I taught an introduction to Valenciennes lace <.......

matter what
the type of lace, and use the correct pillow with them. .
