Unlikely. Mum was of the school to wind her bobbins in pairs, and as I
remember there was a *pair* working the cloth stitch fans. Different enough to

And that leather thing dear friends is what got me hooked into lace making,

When we (Jacquie, Tamara, Julie and I) went to IOLI in Montreal, Jacquie and
Tamara were taking a course doing Cluny de Brioude. Tamara made 'leather'
cover cloths and I was given one which I still enjoy using. Tamara would be
able to tell you what she bought to make the cloths with.

Throughout this discussion I have been wondering whether the shedding
threads problem was in any way related to the use of English verses continental
bobbins. I have always used continental bobbins with bulbs on the bottom
and wound in the continental fashion, which is opposite to the

The reason I was given to use cotton rather than poly cotton fabric for

Hi all,
I use cover cloths a lot, sometimes covering my entire
pillow; so I know from experience that Two (2) problems can

cloths:
1.) The longer the working thread between the
pricking and the bobbins, the more likely it WILL rub on

During a Russian Lace workshop a while back as part of the tutor's
