Absolutely, Ayla!  Using wire requires a special bobbin.  There are a number of 
different types, designed to meet the various weights (sizes) of wire in a 
project.  You will never want to put a hitch on wire...   It will crimp and 
never straighten again.  

Sorry I can't provide more information but I have only had a tiny exposure to 
wire lace...  Enough to know the challenges!
