 Hi,
 Richard Pikul does not have a web site just email. His bobbins are a dream
 to work with, the wood finish wonderful.

   I have some, but they aren't that narrow. They take just as much space
 as
  most
  of my other bobbins. The most slender I have were made by the Perrins'

  (SMP
  lace, his name escapes me, starts with N?) and lots of them would fit on
 a
  pillow in one layer.

  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.

Re: [lace] pin under 4 edge

[robinlace]

Hi, Kim

Is it not also possible that the technique was developed for the same purpose 
as it's used for now?  It makes large, square holes with a straight edge, ideal 
for sewing the lace onto fabric.  I was under the impression that the really 
early laces (such as in Le Pompe and Shepherd's book) were sewn onto garments 
as surface decoration.  Stitching over the 'bars' between rows would attached 
the lace invisibly and the lace would have a very clean and smooth edging.  
Just a thought.

I am interested in the why part of it.  The problem of the curling up edge is 
one possibility.  Another possibility is the exchange of workers.  Yet another 
possibility is how the actual stitches came out of plaiting.I have a piece 
of lace that was made during the revival period which has a pin under 4 edge, 
and I am looking back to see if this was true in others as well.  I suspect it 
came out of the plaiting techniques used at that time.
