I hope Jane won't mind my forwarding but I think her observations are
pertinent. I had forgotten entirely that, at the time I got the
intrucion sheet from Winslow Bobbins, I also got their wire. So I never
had any problem spangling "their way"...

Hi Tamara.
I found that if you do not have the stainless steel wire, it is very
difficult to use the Winslow spangling method. I tried with the brass
wire I have - #26 - and never could get the wire through the beads the
second time. When the bead hole was big enough to get through the
second time, I couldn't wind the wire tight enough around between the
beads, so there was a twisted wire gap between the beads showing. I
didn't like that look so went back to twisting by the bobbin itself.
I wish at least one of our lace vendors would carry the stainless
steel wire that the Winslow's have. I tried finding it in the US and
it couldn't be had. As a favor, one of our vendors did bring some back
from England for me, but she never carries it in her vendor supplies.
Really too bad.
