In just the same way as you use your tweezers! Squeeze and they open, release and they shut. Once on, you have both hands free.
One of my students has some reverse action tweezers that one of the suppliers sells, and she's as pleased as punch with them BUT, they are quite a bit bigger than a bobbin so although they grab an end well, they are *inconvenient* to use as a replacement bobbin. Also, because this long, thin style of hackle plier has the swivel/hinge at the top, they lay flat on the pillow alongside the bobbins, so you don't knock the device by mistake. I have seen this happen with the longer, rigid tweezers. Jacquie - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
