> Now -- Your favorite spangling tips, please.

Personally, I dislike spangles that flop around.  I load the beads onto brass 
wire (the diameter of the loop will be about the size of a US nickel, don't 
know what that is in inches or centimeters).  I thread the two wire ends 
through the bobbin's hole in opposite directions, pull both ends to the same 
side and twist them together tightly.  After cutting off the excess wire, I 
press the twisted bit down against the bobbin.  There's often a groove around 
the base of a Midlands bobbin at the level of the wire holes, and I press the 
twist into that.  If no groove, I press the twist downward toward the tip of 
the bobbin.  Because the wire wraps around one side of the bobbin, the spangle 
is pretty rigid.
