I'm very fond of the beauty of Midlands bobbins and their spangles, even though
I now mostly use Swiss or International bobbins (Midlands are too hard to pick
up off a flat block pillow). But I have lots and lots of Midlands. I love the
pretty beads for spangles, but I hate the spangle floppin

Oh dear! Been there, done that!!!
Not only have I pressed on the wrong end of a pin , and run the eye end of a
needle into my finger, but I have also stitched myself to some fabric!
Ouch!!
Re broken ends in lace - I don't do much Honiton, as I find it too fine and
fiddley!, but I did a nice flo
Sister Claire,
That link worked! The lace is fascinating, as well as the frame. I've been
working on lace netting lately, for fun. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

Janice,
I believe that Kate Henry is "threadthing" on ebay; you could
probably send her

I'd recommend vacuuming. But first lay some window screen, or plastic canvas
on top, then vacuum. The screening will avoid damaging the embroidery.

Dear Arachnids
I think we have all found the wrong end of a pin at some time, I ceertainly
have.
Having cut off many pairs of bobbins that should have remained in use I now
always leave at least 6 inches (15 cms) of thread when I cut off a pair. Then
if I find I have made a blunder, I can tie bob

David,
Yup, I could have fixed it once I got home (certainly not in the 15 minutes
left
in class), but I was too much of a wimp at that time to try. I don't think I
even had reverse forceps yet, much less hackle pliers.
Now I'd rather start a fresh piece and keep this one as a souvenir!

It's pretty dirty. Does anyone know how I can clean it without removing it
from the frame?
Now this one had me sitting up straight and paying attention. I have a
growing pile of broken spangles and a decreasing number of bobbins for use
and dont enjoy the process either, so I think this is something I really
must try,
Thank you David, hope your finger is not hurting now.

through a stiff piece of fabric I managed to force the eye of the

Dear Friends,
As I spangles a few more pairs tonight I recalled that my method was
not how I was taught. Over the years I've tried wire (eventually
breaks); fishing line (same); and double threading through one way
and back the other: all of which took ages to do and I hated it.
