Yes, I do or should I say did. I'm so glad of FSL! Makes for quick presents. Most people who are not in the know, haven't a clue how time consuming lace making is and hardly appreciate a real bobbin lace present.

From the instructions I have I would say yes, very time consuming. Can u imagine the yards & hrs spent long ago n making it.?
Yes, FSL for resents are very good especially for those people who don#t know about the time consuming lace making, but I like to do it for myself and for the joy to try new and a little bit more difficult patterns

I agree lbrow, remember all those doilies that used to adorn every flat surface from bedrooms to living rooms...the washing and starching....guess I am showing my age...the plainer the better today ...I knit and crochet as well as sew and embroider..mother who most of you remember is 95 crochets and knits constantly. When she isn't working for the ggc she is selling her wares in the residence...never tried bobbin lace salsabil always much more fun to do something you enjoy...*4U

I tried it but got my fingers all mixed up. Maybe another time I'll try again.

I have thought about learning bobbin lace, but after watching it for a little bit, I decided that it was more than I wanted to learn. Isn't it mezmerizing to watch? The ladies that do that kind of work go so fast, it's hard to follow what they are doing. The closest I got to doing it was tatting. I never got all that good at tatting either. lol I think that bobbin lace is done by very few women in very remote parts of the world. I doubt if it is done at all in the US anymore. Good question. :-) *4u

Oh, nooooooo - I don't think that my hands would stand it. I knit, and crochet - not so much anymore, but I watched someone do this, and I will just have to be envious of them, for this old girl is not going to try. My younger daughter had an older women try to teach her to Tat, and I couldn't get the hang of that either.
