I have always used midlands bobbins for Milanese as taught by Pat Read
who also uses them. Try not to use big or weighty spangles though. I
have used up to 120 thread with spangled bobbins and not had any
problems with them

Greetings All,
Welcome to the new folks. I hope you new folks won't be put off by the
slow process of lacemaking. The results are astounding, and you won't
get bored!
I'm about to start learning Milanese (I hope some day to do Tamara's
swan.)
I'm wondering which bobbins to use. I want a smooth bobbin and have
been looking at rosaline bobbins? They look great for sewings, but are
they too heavy for milanese? I've also looked at swiss bobbins. Are
they too light for milanese? How about the "new international
squares"? I don't have any place locally where I can see bobbins
before I purchase them, so I could use some help from the wealth of
knowledge here.
Any suggestions or critiques of these bobbins would be a big help to
me.
Thanks,
Mary
