Hi Clay,
I think the prongs on the handle are to release the finished Teneriffe wheel, which
would have been worked over the extending tabs. Since Teneriffe, like most lace, is
not worked in elastic threads, there has to be a release mechanism.

Hi,
Thank you all for advice on beading my Danish bobbins!
The bobbins arrived about a week ago. I tried with wire, but I'm not very good
at it (it wouldn't have worked at all without Patty's help), so I'll try beading
thread and see if that works better.
I also went to a beading store and
I'm looking at Danish bobbins on eBay, and I found one seller who has a lot

very different to use from normal ones? Would they break thread, and what size
would be safe to use them with?
