I put my bobbins in their pockets in pairs spangle first (or tail first in
the case of non-spangled bobbins), so the head with the thread is sticking
out and I can see how much thread and what colour is on each pair or if
they're empty. So does everyone else whose bobbin roll I've ever seen.

Nah, you're not the only one, Liz - I do it, too. I thought that was
how everyone did it. Besides, I don't think my spangles on a pair of
bobbins would go into the pockets I have - they're too skinny I think.
Makes sense, though, 'coz then you don't have spangles getting tangled.

I have to agree with you, Robin!
And, I agree with you about Binche... or at least, I did two
years ago! Then, I discovered Catherine's Olive Branches,
and decided to learn more about Binche. I discovered that
making Binche is way more fun for me than any other lace
I've ever done... it is
I make slightly different bobbin rolls. To the best of my knowledge, I
invented it for myself but you may use the idea. Start with:
- two pieces of fabric, as long as you want it (I generally make them 18-24
long) and about 14-16 wide (you want at least 6, preferably 8 wider than
the batting)

I, also put my bobbins in head first with the spangles outward. I usually
use the bobbin rolls with the middle strip open top and bottom, then I
alternate them in pairs so there are spangles pairs every second hole on
each side and the shanks in between.

Hi everyone, me, too, I put my midlands bobbins in head first. I like it
that the I can see the spangles. I pull out each bobbin to check what
thread it's got - inefficient use of time, or just more relaxing g

was common practice until I realised that I think I'm the only one who does
this with all my bobbins
I always put my bobbins in head first - as Liz says - it keeps the thread

This is something my mom sent me, which came from her friend's son who is a

it applies to other police jurisdictions, but the advise is sure and sound.

In the US the same thing works, only with 911. It is also a non-toll call.
Turning on your hazards is a really good idea though in case it really is a
cop. However, in this day and age being safe is a good thing, and the
police cannot dun you for that.

Two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car
which said:
Two Prostitutes -- $50.00
A policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either
have to remove the sign or go to jail.
Just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying: JESUS SAVES.
