Last month Bev, in Sooke BC, had a raffle for some extra lace type
stamps she had around. I won them and when I wrote to the list that I
received them, I received a lovely email from Eva in Spain, wanting
to know if my stamp collector son would like some of the lace stamps
that she has. I
Hello All
A lady I know uses the pants off a pair of tights [washed of course]
to cover the whole pillow. to keeps her bobbins etc in place.
They cause a lot of hilarity at lacedays. But it works!!!

Dear Noelene,
So far no-one seems to have mentioned my favourite bobbin holder for my
spangled bobbins - shoe laces.
Haven't ever heard of them being suggested before. I always use those
giant safety pin shapes - make 2 from any cheap plastic-coated
coat-hanger. They hold about 20 pairs each

People have often asked me where I got my bobbin holders from - 1 inch
wide elastic with a button sewn on each end which securely ties down
with a berry pin in each of the holes at both ends I will let you all
into the secret they came from packets of incontinence pads that I got
for my mother
Hi everyone and Joy
Thankyou for the several tips on dealing with 'tips' of the cords we use to
tie down our bobbins.
Double thanks, Joy, for inserting the term 'aglet' - because right away as I
read the message I was trying to remember the precise name of that little
deal!
Try twisting the end
I like Noelene's idea.
I have used shoe laces, lengths of ribbon, garden twine (not as nice) and
thick weaving cotton (8/4's are good) to mind the bobbins. I don't use the
method exclusively, it depends on how much of a hurry I'm in and the state
of the pillow, and what sort of cord-like device is
David, I usually thread the shoelace through the spangles of about 6 to 10
pair max., then tie in a bow, bundling the bobbins into a bunch. The
bundles get stacked at the side. If there are a lot of bobbins - say more
than 50 pair in use - I have some small squares of fabric which I place

I just wanted to say hi...
I was introduced to bobbin lace making by my husband's aunt, who lives in
England. She showed me how to do it, but unfortunately where I live don't
seem to have much of a support base. I am still fascinated with bobbin lace
making though, so have really been
Hi Kathy, Welcome from lurkdom. We are all anxious to know, and it is one
of the rules that you sign your name with an identifying residence i.e. at
least country. Since some countries are so large, if we know where you live,
we may know of someone who will contact you re lacemaking.

Hi Spiders,
One of the local lacemakers here also uses tights (pantyhose, don't know what
this item is called in the US), with the legs cut-off for securing her bobbins
when transporting the pillow - and it does generate a lot of comments.
For normal carrying around of the pillos, I use

Noelene,
When I was doing the Chantilly class (hello Ilske) where you have to carry
ground bobbins with the gimp so often, there were all sorts of ideas flying
around the classroom about the best way to bundle them together - I stuck to
my shoelaces, which kept the threads in order as well, and

Hi spiders,
Another appeal for information, a student is going on holiday to the Tatra
mountains region of Poland. Are there any museums or places to visit in the
area that are lace related please.
Many thanks to you all for the wealth of information that you are all so
willing to share with
Women are like apples growing on a tree. The best apples are at the top of
the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are
afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples
that have fallen to the ground, which are not as good, but easy. The
