Jane in Vermont mentioned being taught by Mary Shields. I had a look at her
two books on Carrickmacross, and thought they showed a great love of this

Isn't that the cutest little thing. I have no use for another pillow, but it

I vote for No. The working area for bobbins in only 10 wide. It is
awkward to have bobbins hanging off

Hi Weronika -
I agree with Alice. My first reaction was the the roller was lower than the
work surface, which would be a problem. And even if you bundled your bobbins
and hung them off the side as you worked, the work area is too high, not wide
enough, and puts your hands at an awkward

impossible to produce those results (eg half stitch diamonds) in tatting

I thought I'd mentioned this a few weeks ago - I found, in a book about
the machine lace industry in Nottingham, a definition of tatting which
explains perfectly the many misconceptions about bobbin lace.
Apparently, tatting in machine lace terminology means a geometric lace

I surely do agree with Alice. I, in fact, saw the same, or similar,
coasters sold in sets of 4 several years ago. I don't recall the cost,
but they were clearly marked Made in China. I did buy an oval piece 5 x 8
inches for a nominal price, which I don't recall but was probably about $5,
I just had a look at the coasters. The seller has changed her description:
Several of you have written these doilies/coasters are handmade bobbin lace. A
different stitch technique than tatting.
