[lace] Bobbin winder
I recently bought the little pocket wood winder and use a long rubber band to clamp it to my small work table. A cord might work too.

[lace] Bobbin winder
To Alison, my winder is Genko, made in Germany. I bought it from a retired lacemaker who lived in Belgium for awhile (in the 1970’s?). The wooden chock that holds the bobbin is a replacement made in Sweden. The winder is metal, has its own clamp & runs very smoothly. It clamps to a table but I clamped it to the arm of a dining room chair to save space. I’ve used it for all kinds of Continental bobbins & it works great. When I searched for the company online, I found antique hand tools made by this company so perhaps they are no longer in business? My winder was made as such—it is not another tool modified to be a winder. In any event, you are closer to the continent than I, so perhaps you can find one on eBay or similar. As to what bobbins work in various winders, my beaded Binche bobbins were a problem until I discovered those gel tubes that fit on a pencil to cushion your grip. I slit one open, wrapped it around my bobbin & fit it in the chock—Voila! This product might work for spangled Midlands because they are similar diameter & a big pack of the pencil cushions is like $2. Large bobbins like Idrija are another matter! Allie Marguccio has a large winder for Idrija bobbins that she bought from a weaving company. If you need one of those, you should ask her for details. Hope this helps.

Re: [lace] Bobbin winder
i have 3 bobbin winders. the first was from an Australian man of plexiglass that dismantles and is easily carried to show, classes or use at home. the second one was made in wood by a guy in Utah, USA and works lovely but you need a clamp to put it on the table. the plexiglass one has a built in clamp. the third and i think this you can do in the UK is a drill. my battery powered drill is a bit heavy and powerful but it does the job really fast. i went back down to a small drill you can get at the store for little jobs. it is light weight and you can just tap the trigger in spurts. they come in plug in or battery charged. it works fast and once you work with it a bit, it is awesome. you need "less" for winding bobbins. the bobbin goes where the drill bit normally would so you need to take your bobbin with you to make sure it opens wide enough to hold the bobbin. if you have spangles on the bobbins, that might be tricky but if you lace, you are used to figuring out how to make things work. i just tip the spangle and the tip of the wood grips. enjoy.

Re: [lace] Bobbin winder
Dear Alison, I live across The Pond, so can't give any advice about stockists. I have a cast metal Swedish bobbin winder, which is no longer made, but would be good second hand. It is simply and powerfully made. You turn the handle, and on the thread goes, reliably and constantly. Clamps to the table. Keep oiled about once every two years or so and you're good to go. It really can't break, and I can leave it in my will. I figure a life of at least 100 years. I use it for Continental bobbins. It should work for Midlands, as there is a place for the beads. The other is the electric one. I don't have it, but two friends swear by it. It is made of wood, runs on electricity, batteries or shore power, I don't know. It is compact, fairly light weight, and does the job. Lyn from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, but now in Arizona, where it is too cool, and much too much rain.

Re: [lace] Bobbin winder
Hello Ann and all sleepy Sunday here, while I can't provide you with a diagram or even a link to one - and there is probably one somewhere on the 'net - I can tell you the string winder is similar to the capstan winch. For the bobbin winder, the endless loop of string goes around a stationery peg, perhaps a pin on the lacemaker's pillow, the loop goes around and about the bobbin enabling the bobbin to move, to roll around, whilst the loop is pulled. IIRC the loop is held taut in one hand while the other hand tensions the bobbin - the *third hand* guides the thread around the bobbin. I know there is an easy way to use this (someone told me she has the loop going around her chair) and I once saw a lacemaker stop lacing and wind a bobbin in this way right on her pillow. Hope this helps until someone else can provide a better description! (who/what is Heath Robinson?)

I must add that I went back to the web site and saw more pictures! Duh! Had I scrolled down, I would have seen the little wheel inside the post just like mine. The little "stobs" that are pictured stick in the holes on the "gizmo" to form a swift (thanks Patty for that word that escaped me at midnight last night). Your 4-armed gizmo is missing but I will send photos and maybe you can have one made. Also, the strong cord (I've never had to replace mine) has a knot so it was fed through the slot holding the little wheel on the left. Thus, a rubber band would not/could not be fitted on to your winder. The more I looked at your photos, the more I am sure it is like the one Mr. Hornsby patterned mine after. - Original Message - From: "CLIVE Rice" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Re: [lace] Bobbin Winder Pics ..snip.. You need a strong cord between the groove in the big wheel and the smaller wheel that is in the post on the left of the photo. Now mind you, my little wheel is inserted in the little post but I can't see where the small wheel is on yours. The cord must have an X in it - something to do with physics -. ...snip... My bobbin winder has a gizmo with 4 arms or spokes from the center. The gizmo fits on the end of the long arm, and has removable little stobs that will allow me to wind from a hank if that were needed. I use the spokes to hang my bobbins on as they are wound in pairs 'cause the gizmo fits on the post on the end of the long arm and the thread will sit on top of that. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Mary and sherry and all others, There is missing the "rubber-band" between the wheel with the handle and the part you put in a perhaps a bobbin or something else to wind thread on. I have never see such a machine but often those Sherry shows us on her plog. I don't have a story for this but I know it from several older pictures in books and magazines showing the bobbin-winder our ancester lacemaker-friends. And I know from a swedish girl-friend that weavers also uses such machines. She has one you could find out immediately how to use and not made from wood but metall.

I have a reproduction of this type bobbin winder made by D.J. Hornsby of Kettering, Northants way back in 1979. I was on the waiting list for a year, if I recall. Now how the winder works. You need a strong cord between the groove in the big wheel and the smaller wheel that is in the post on the left of the photo. Now mind you, my little wheel is inserted in the little post but I can't see where the small wheel is on yours. The cord must have an X in it - something to do with physics -. The bobbin-end (or tail) fits in the cup that faces you.(The big wheel is on your right). I pad the cup with squares of soft foam rubber, start the thread by hand on the bobbin, hold the bobbin in the cup with my left thumb on the end of the bobbin head with the thread passing through the palm and bent fingers of my left hand while I turn the wheel with my right hand. Guide the thread on the bobbin with your left hand/fingers The long arm will swing around to a convenient angle for your spool of thread. It will take some practice to wind bobbins on this winder, and since I use mostly spangled Midlands, I wind them as well - just be sure to use padding on your beads. My bobbin winder has a gizmo with 4 arms or spokes from the center. The gizmo fits on the end of the long arm, and has removable little stobs that will allow me to wind from a hank if that were needed. I use the spokes to hang my bobbins on as they are wound in pairs 'cause the gizmo fits on the post on the end of the long arm and the thread will sit on top of that. The drawer keeps extra pieces of foam, the stobs, and bits and pieces. After I have wound one bobbin with twice the amount of thread, I put the full bobbin in the drawer and wind 1/2 onto the second bobbin of the pair. I love my bobbin winder and if it were not so bulky to carry, that would be my only bobbin winder. It takes a bit of practice to get the right pressure on the tip of the bobbin head, but practice makes perfect. This is probably as clear as mud on a dark,dreary night, but it's the best I can do this late at night Happy Bobbin Winding, Betty Ann Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 03, 2006 10:50 PM Subject: [lace] Bobbin Winder Pics Hi, Barbara was kind enough to post my pictures on her web site.

[lace] Bobbin Winder
Hi Mary, It sure looks like a bobbin winder to me, too. A cord or leather strap would have connected the large wheel and the spindle. Their grooves line up exactly in the pictures. Since thread was usually sold in skeins until late 19th century, (I am thinking of Honiton directions that call for 14 slip thread which was a measure of how many lengths of thread came up to a certain weight. And rather fine) to wind it onto bobbins would require a swift or something like it. The arm would be moved outboard of the main winder to the left. I would venture to guess that this winder is for Continental bobbins, since I can't imagine the cupped side holding a spangled bobbin, unless another piece is missing. >From the look of the wear, I would expect that the bobbins were jam fit into the cup and wound. The use of tapered bits of wood is not obvious. They sort of look like chocks, similar to how some roller pillows keep the roller from moving. The different stick that doesn't taper may have been for rolling up completed lace. The French use planchettes which are flat bars if wood to wind their lace. Dunno.

Try making a "rubber band" with a length of narrow elastic. Stitch the ends together flat (one laid over the other) and it will last Much longer!

At 04:12 PM 2/27/2005, you wrote: I would say that a bobbin winder is a bit of a luxury to start off with. Mine get wound while I'm sat in front of the TV of an evening. Just a reminder, and a note to newbies. You can use a string as a bobbin winder -- and everyone can find a string. The directions are on Lacefairy webpage. While you're waiting to afford a mechanical winder, using the string will speed up your bobbin winding. I used it for many years before I finally got a winder, and even today I still use a string for some bobbins. Caution -- it doesn't work well with bobbins that have a sprial groove going the length of the bobbin. Happy lacing, Alice in Oregon -- still celebrating the completion of a ten-year UFO.

[lace] bobbin-winder
Hi, Ruth, Are you sure it is a lace bobbin-winder? It could very well be a textile bobbin winder. I've got some big bobbins from my grandmother's family (never found out who used them) which look like a very elongated double cone (sorry, I don't know the mathematical name!!), the length being about 20cms. Apparently, they were loaded with thread and used for hand-weaving . Unfortunately, I've never seen the rest of the apparatus. But they would probably be wound on a machine such ass the one you've got. Yours in lace, Helene, the froggy from Melbourne >...The winder is in wonderful condition and runs smoothly.

[lace] bobbin winder (oops!!)
I forgot to mention that this winder can be found by looking for item # 2556733734 on ebay. It is listed as "Victorian Spinning Wheel? For Bundle Tieing?" I did try to email the seller to let her know what she had, but I am not signed up for ebay and couldn't get in touch with her. If someone else would like to do that, I am sure she would be appreciative. That's it (hopefully) for now.

[lace] bobbin winder
I have been reading messages for so long that I have deleted the instructions on how to post a message. I hope this works. I have been looking on ebay for old spinning wheels to see if the one I just bought matches anything there and I came across an old bobbin winder for sale there. It looks to be missing the cross bar that the threads would be placed on for winding, but other than that it appears to be in wonderful condition. I have one almost like it myself. If you look closely, there is a bar with an upright post placed at the back. This bar would swing around and the crossbars with pegs (the missing piece) would be placed on the upright post for a skein of threads. I thought someone might be interested in this little item.
