Hello - I noticed tavernmaker has a flower Bobbin Lace up. Can someone explain to me what bobbin lace is and what is special about it? Also is there anything special I need to know when I try to make these designs? Thank you for your help.

Thanks for this Chris. Hugs Joyce
Thank you Chris, this was a very interesting article. After reading about the bobbin lace, I took a link about broomstick lace, (I knew how to do it as a teenager), but have long forgotten how to do it. Thanks & hugs, Tammy
Thank you Chris. I will definitely go get this article and copy it to my files to have. Seems my remember does remember as good as it used to. :)

Making bobbin lace on your embroidery machine is no different to any other FSL - it is digitised to look like traditional bobbin lace. To make it by hand is a whole different ball game!

Thank you Sue it explains all. Hugs Joyce
amazing.
Lovely bobbins, are they yours? I only have a dozen or so of this type with the glass beads and hundreds of plain Belgium ones (hiding and idling in a cupboard).
Mine are all in a drawer - perhaps one day they will come out again!
Thankyou Sue, I have a new respect for it! So interesting.
Wow, I would get so confused with what bobbin I was to use next. You are a very talented lady. Thank you

As Sue commented - embroidered bobbin lace work is designed to LQQK like the hand made bobbin lace work.
You should/could use bobbin embroidery thread is as much different than regular FSL embroidery work.

Thank you. Do you order it online from the same place that you order your threads? Is it just regular bobbin thread?

When I made a bit of bobbin lace at my dealer's shop, we used 30 wt cotton in both bobbin and top thread. It is lovely. Hugs. Nan W

I am hoping Sue comes back and answers this question. Are these called Bobbin Lace needles and do you know where you can get them so that you can add your own lampworked beads.
