Presumably the traditional bobbin is one of the continental styles with the rounded bottoms....however, I've successfully used ordinary spangled Midlands bobbins for Tonder for years. As for the pins, I use the same pins as I do for everything else - fine lace pins that I use for Bucks.
Tonder doesn't have the sewings found in Honiton, for instance - and is to avoid catching the spangles on the threads during a sewing that Honiton-workers use a non-spangled bobbin.

What type of bobbin is traditionally used for Tonder lace? Should I avoid spangled ones? What is the size of pins I should use? I have be trying to look before I go to class in case I have what I need. Thanks Candy PS I have googled and saw lots of pretty lace, a few bobbins and no definitions on the size of the pins. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
