I watched a lacemaker working with hundreds of Midlands pairs, a big Beds. piece on a large cookie pillow, and she was able to pick up groups of bobbins, twist the bundle once so that the leader threads were all together, and left them back of the pillow.
Now THAT'S an intriguing idea which I haven't tried yet. Must give it a go. But it certainly sounds feasible.
My giant safety pins made by cutting a plastic coated coat hanger in half, hold around 32 bobbins each depending on the flamboyancy of the spangle.
