I have some glass bobbins and I just love them. I love the sound they make which is a happy sound to me. I do not have any problems in winding them. I just wrap over the tail a few times and then just wind. I have found that for me I don't usually make a hitch on the place where you are suppose to make it but instead right there the thread is wound. It hold better for me. I do that with all my bobbins no matter what kind they are. I also have some bobbins that my husband made for me at work. They are aluminum and they were turned on a lathe where he works. I also like the sound these make. For me I don't have any problems with the weight with either kind. I have to admit that my husband does a really good job making these bobbins too. At the moment things are busy where he works....so I have been told it would be awhile before he can make me any more. The ones he has he has made them all to look different. These tinkle too. I also have some glass honiton bobbins....I don't have any problems in using these either even though for honiton lace the thread is very fine. I also have a few aluminum honiton ones that my husband has made for me too. They are all mixed, the glass, aluminum and wood ones on my bobbinlace pillow and they work just fine for me. I also have one sterling silver bobbin that I got from Frank somebody over in the UK. The last name escapes me now...but I have found that that bobbin does have a heavier feel to it. Actually on my pillow I have all kinds of bobbins. I know you are suppose to use mainly all the same bobbins on a piece of lace in the making but I mix mine. Well...it is my pillow and I am the lacemaker so I just do what I want. Sherry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
