This is SO true. I bought the Tebbs book, some 20+ years ago, I've never made lace from it - so far! However, now I look at the patterns from the NL point of view, and there are some great ideas there, so maybe it was worthwhile buying the book after all!!!that one day's mistake might turn out to be another day's revelation... :)""""
Regarding the square bobbins - are they similar to the ones on Holly van Sciver's site - the 4" ones? I believe either Lacy Susan or Lacemaker USA (forget which) has some similar ones.
I am thinking of treating myself to some when I come over to Denver, so I was interested in the comments about them.
DH slightly flattened 2 sides of my continental ones, but they still roll around, and give me the 'pip' (to be polite!!). Square ones look to be the answer. Maybe, then, I will try Milanese again, and other braid laces. (I use East Midlands type, and some have large spangles, which makes life hard when doing sewings.)
