Alice and All,
I think we have tried just about everything suggested so far - just stopping
short of hurling the whole kit and caboodle across the room!The one
thing which I do try to get through - with varying degrees of success, I
have to say - is that threads should *not* be too long, and

Hi All,
How many others don't use the double head on a midlands bobbin? How
long should bobbins be? Would it be worthwhile for bobbin makers to
make single headed midlands bobbins as a general rule? Should they
be longer than the 4 inches which seems to be fairly standard for
midlands?
Hi All,
How many others don't use the double head on a midlands bobbin?
I, for one, much prefer bobbins with a double head for the hitch. I hate
hitching over the thread, as this makes it so much harder to lengthen the
thread when I want more to use.
I don't feel strongly about the length of
Greetings all,
Recently, there have been discussions about the availability of
restaurants and/or other resources for sustenance at this yearÂ’s IOLI
convention. Someone mentioned WalMart and a nearby Mexican
restaurant.
However, to get a better understanding of what else is available, you

Hi Jim !
You are definitely on to something here!! I think that lacemaking has
evolved enough through the 20th century that 21st century bobbins can be
made which are less traditional and more functional, and the most
successful of these will be those that are also aesthetically pleasing.

We had a wonderful lace day at the Baltimore Museum of Art today
despite, or maybe because of, the weather, which was raining and
foggy most of the day. I was delighted so many people had turned out
for this event, and even more so when I found out that our own

I *always* use the head groove on Midlands bobbins. In fact, the lack of a
groove is a major reason I dislike most Continentals (I use Swiss because they
have a grooved head). When I hitch on the neck, sooner or later the hitch gets
bogged down in among the wound threads and I get a terrible
There's only 16 hours left on a pillow, bobbins and other stuff in the UK
on eBay.
If you have a student who needs a starting kit, this would be good. Look
for item 8181134152.The pillow looks like one I recently got, and it
seems to work just fine.

Not wanting to show my ignorance, I was hoping that someone else would ask
first, but perhaps I'm the only one who doesn't know.

If we can't count the hours we are going to demonstrate lace in the lobby at
IOLI I was just wondering about some of my hours.
I sometimes sit in front at Hobby Lobby and demonstrate tatting to advertise
my tatting class at the local Jr. College. Would those be counted as
demonstration hours?
If the host guild has invited the public to the vendor and display room, such
as on the Wednesday tour day, then I would think that anyone making lace in the
lobby on that day or any other day that the public can come to would qualify as
demonstrating hours. Just MHO.

Please could someone explain this 'Demonstrating Points' system to me. I

What is required, who do I send to etc, please. I do a 2 day demo every
