As was mentioned in a previous message, the difference with the recent
machine that sold was that it came with 96 perfectly good looking bobbins,
which had to contribute to the price it fetched.

>Carol et al,
I have looked at the pictures, and the pillow seems to be in good order
but ...
The bidders must have been crazy or didn't realize what they were bidding
on. These things are only any good for yardage and having used mine twice
I shall never use it again.
Actually I have 2 of them which I picked up in rural Tasmania in the
1980s. I recall giving $70AUS each then - which was a fortune, considering
I didn't even know how to make BL at that time.
I shall certainly be putting mine on Ebay when I get around to it and will
be prepared to ship anywhere as long as buyer is prepared to pay postage.

Can a lace pillow really be worth all that amount of money? I know we
are a bit spoiled in the UK with suppliers of all sorts of things, but I
can't believe that anyone here would spend as much as that. It looks
quite a lovely piece of work, even though the pictures didn't seem very
bright and clear, but some of my roller pillows would, I am sure, be just
as efficient.
So - please tell me what I have obviously missed - maybe I am just a tad
dimmer than the average...
