I remember a story > David (Downunder) told us some years ago, about having his pillow > dumped upside down (at a demo? I think it was), with a Bucks (if I > remember a-right) pattern on it, and close to 100 pairs (and some of > the threads broke too, all in the same place)...
I had something similar happen to me when I went to demonstrate at the Big E. I didn't have time to fuss with the bobbins so I just looped the broken threads on some temporary pins behind the work, and proceeded as if nothing had happened. No one remarked on it, if they noticed at all. And the funny thing is that, years later, I've taken out that length of lace (I worked on it for years, an inch or two at a time when demonstrating) and it doesn't even look that awful. I wouldn't put it in a competetion to be judged, but I am putting it on a little baby cap for my granddaughter to wear in parades or reenactments with our 18th century group.
