In those diagrams is machine-, needle-. bobbin- and pillow-lace mentioned.
Could somebody tell me the difference between bobbin- and pillow-lace.
Do they mean Teneriffe-lace? Or is pillow-lace the sum of needle- and
bobbin-lace? Both are made on a pillow, needle lace in another sort of pillow
to say.

Hi,
I have always thought as bobbin lace being pillow lace (can also called bone
lace). Needle lace, although
I think it is important for us to differentiate between what *we* have
always thought, and what the writers of the particular books which were
searched thought! I'm curious how the search works too... is it
looking for word combinations that are exact, as in bobbin lace but
not lace bobbin?

My understanding of the terms is the same as yours, Joepie. Also I think
the
term pillow lace is more common
I began bobbin lace in 1977 while living in England and heard many times
that in the old times it was known as pillow lace and bone lace. I was
also told that bone lace was because fish bones were used to support
the threads before pins were invented. I do have some reference to that
somewhere
Hi Nancy:
Statistical analysis isn't my thing, but I do have some thoughts:
- Only a small number of people buy single topic lace-making books, but when
bobbin lace is included in a book with a wider-ranging content - take Weldon's
Encyclopedia of Needlework, for instance; or de Dillmont's, -

one at 1900? (too narrow to be just the general lace revival I think)
