I remember David Naylor and I'm lucky enough to have two of his beautiful bobbins one with a hand another with a bell. His bobbins were very popular and hard to get as he soon acquired a waiting list. Sadly he died quite suddenly - so his work is precious. Another at that time who made ivory

Thanks so much to Bev Walker and Tamara Duvall for your information on the pivot pin. I will print it all out and take it to my shop where I have my pillow set up. The sad part of all of this is that I had the first end done and was halfway up the side when I got the idea in my head that

I am thinking of making the Buckspoint mat designed by Marjory Carter in the May 2006 of the Lace Society's newsletter. Has anyone worked this. I've tried counting how may pairs of bobbins I would need and keep getting lost or interrupted while counting. Looks like a lot of pairs are
