I had forgotten entirely that, at the time I got the
intrucion sheet from Winslow Bobbins, I also got their wire. So I never

Thanks for the contact details for Hensel Producations, particularly Bev for
the email address.
I've emailed and now wait to see how I'll buy it. Need something to cheer me

Thanks to all the spiders for their good ideas of how to mount my
lace. I have another 20 4 cm sqaures to make so this will give me
ample time to think about the best way to mount them.

I think it was Achim in Germany who first started this debate on
spangling, so to him and all other Spiders, my tuppence worth on spangling:
As my husband is a bobbin maker, I spangle between 50 and 80 bobbins a week.

surgeon's knot - left over right, right over left and over left
again, pull tightly. I've only had one come undone

I have made lots of lace pieces for my DD clothing. And yes they do get some

Hey Jane,
I believe Winslow Bobbins are going to be a vendor at convention in Rockford.
Why not drop them an email and ask them to bring extra spools of wire for sale.

I wish at least one of our lace vendors would carry the stainless

Hi, spiders,
I got a new camera last week so that I could take a photography course

I took this one as an experiment in how light affects a camera at
