Dear Clay,
Not everyone works with spangled bobbins. I have to say, those
spangles come in handy for keeping the bobbins in order, but I
rarely use this kind of bobbin. Continental bobbins present their
own set of "challenges". My favorite system (which I have not come
even *close* to mastering...) is when those huge 12" pins are used
to scoop up 6 - 8 bobbins at a time and stack them vertically in
front of another set...
Just an amazing sight to see...
I have to say I've often wondering just how Continental bobbins are
kept in any sort of order without any spangles to thread on things.
Since you're using 12" pins, you might even consider those 1mm (or
less) metal lace knitting needles. They are what I use to support my
stacks of bobbins. However, I wouldn't want too many 1mm holes in a
styrene based pillow
