The wooden part of a midlands bobbin is quite small and very light weight. I
think the spangle ring and its beads may be necessary to give sufficient
weight. Antique "thumpers", a alternate midlands style, are much thicker and
don't have a spangle right.
European bobbins are different weight

When a lace maker reports this problem, the first advice I give is to be
sure the hitch is made correctly. But you have a lot of experience, and for
you, that can't be the problem. Another possibility would be to put an extra

Yes, Russian tape lace uses a pivot pin. There are several ways of doing

"turning stitches". The one that appears in the DMC book on tape lace is the
one I use most, and I describe it on my website.
