Re: [lace] Princess Lace Making Machine on eBay

If you read through the posting, the seller has generously estimated that the 
Princess and bobbins are worth a total of $1,000, and has set his/her reserve 
at half that.   Seems like a lot to me.  And it's odd that they've got so 
many of those bobbins.  You could never get them all on a pillow like that!  
Even working half those bobbins on that pillow would be a challenge!

Gosh - and I've got 2 of them sitting in my spare room just waiting 
for me to get myself organized to SELL on Ebay instead of all this buying :)

I did use my Princess pillow once - and only once - a pain in the a..se.

Update -- The reserve price has just been lowered.

As to the bobbins, it's probably just happenstance
that they are in the same sale with the Loom.  The
previous owner, if a typical lacemaker, probably had
several pillows and a variety of bobbins.  Someone may
have just grouped the items for sale, and these ended
up together.

I agree...all of these could not easily be used on
this pillow at the same time.  A smaller bobbin would
suit the pillow much better.

Alice in Oregon -- recovering from a great Lace Day on
Saturday.  Sampler classes were given, making tatted,
bobbin, and  Romanian Point butterflies.  A special
guest was Elena Dickson from Australia.
