Thanks Diane and Jeri. Gosh, who knew that WalMart sells lace bobbins? It seems they have quite a range - not sure if they are all from Lacis - but the prices are certainly good. Jill in Milton Keynes, UK - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe

Hello everyone, it sounds like a good deal! How it works is the item is shown on the WalMart online platform not at WalMart store itself; the retailer is given as 'Stuff4' an e-commerce dealer. Is Lacis not selling bobbin lace materials any more? I went to their website to the mail-order listings

I love to use square bobbins for most of my work, especially if there are sewings such as in Milanese and as a beginner they are very economical to buy. They used to be $8 a dozen but I believe the price has increased since the dollar value dropped. The only problem with the cheap ones is

Hi everyone I am not at all a fan of square bobbins - they don't suit my method of working on any sort of pillow or with any style of lace (and I do heaps of laces) - however, should a newbie invest in them? If you like the idea and can afford them, I don't see why not - unless you'd like to

Hello I love working with square bobbins as they don´t roll around like my usual continentels. I had a lot of round bobbins and my husband grounded them square with some machine, that was my thickest continentals. I also have thinner continentals but I am afraid they would be just like a lollipop

Hi everyone, I like to work and often do work with spangled bobbins on some projects and all kinds of continental bobbins with other projects but, to be perfectly honest, square bobbins I absolutely loathe. They are slow, cumbersome, hard to grasp because so much of the bobbin lies flat on the
