Yes we would all prefer you were happy and making lace which ever way you
can. Long may it continue. There are many of us out in the world of lace
who have to choose the best way we can do something and not worry about it
not being the correct way. Just loving lace and lacemaking and making the
best lace you can do.
I am about to take on an ambitious challenge and although I have used
spangles with sewings I have worked a sample with square bobbins without
spangles which was obviously easier and am going to see if I can handle the
larger continentals I bought some time ago but have never used as I want
more thread on the bobbins than I think the square ones will take. I have
at least another one sample to work and also decisions to make about whether
I need a toning colour as well or bite the bullet and try metallic thread.
When I tried years ago I didn't get on well but maybe there is a special
trick I need to know to keep the bobbins wound.

I also pick up and
move bobbins by the spangles because that's the easiest way for me. And
before
anyone says that's wrong, if I didn't do it that way I wouldn't be able to
make lace. After all, there are no lace police.
