bobbins jumping all over. Will the Honiton be harder to learn with the spangled bobbins? Any help will be appreciated.If you are working Honiton with the traditional fine threads that it is normally worked in then spangled Midlands bobbins will be too heavy for that sort of thread. Otherwise, as you are already used to making sewings with spangled bobbins there wouldn't be a problem. Honiton is usually also worked on a pillow which has a small diameter surface and is more domed than a cookie pillow. The Honiton bobbins lie towards the outside edge of the pillow, with their heads and most of the bobbinon the surface and their tips of the ends of the bobbins in the air (I hope you can grasp what I am trying to describe), and gaining just a bit of tension on the fine thread from that position
