Interestngly enough, I started out making lace with those pretty Midlands, and must have a fortune (*I'm* not counting!!) tied up in gorgeous Midlands bobbins with beautiful spangles. But... I've found that I prefer continental bobbins now...
That's really interesting - I went the opposite way and I sold all my Continental bobbins. But if I had to start over, I'd use the square bobbins. Not as pretty as the spangled ones, but they have the advantage of not rolling and being easier to make sewings with.
