Well put, Clay. I am a great advocate of spangles. They work for me best although I do use continentals for Bloemwerk and Milanese. I have both the "rollers" and the squares - I prefer squares. Then, too, I work palms up and find midlands ever so easy. Then, too, putting the Aero stitch holders through the spangles to stack the bobbins is easy. Currently I'm working on a piece using 72 pairs (thanks Susan Wenzel) and stacking the midlands is no problem. Happy lacemaking - using whatever tools you find you like...Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA
