This a great video. I'm a beginner and was taught to close the pin after you place it

I was considering trying thin dowels with beads cut to match the few “real” bobbins I have. Delighted to see that the idea might actually work! I have a date with my dremel tool and not paying $15 a dozen (the project I took on is 80 bobbins, that’s a lot of cash for a beginner!) 🤣

Beautifully spoken. Thank you for not having background music.

You are a great teacher.

You are the best teacher that I have seen I really wish you had more videos 😢

You can also use the dolly clothes pins

When you're using the clothespins, do you just open them to get a bit more thread as needed?

Excellent

Where did you get the pattern?

This is so clear. Thank you

This is a fantastic tutorial thankyou very much. It has helped me a lot.

Beautiful. Thank you very much.

TY❤! You have helped me to remember what I was taught by friend in 2010.

Thank you for sharing and simplifying it for us!

You are by far the best at demonstrating and explaining how to make bobbin lace! You were clear, concise, slow-paced and showed each element clearly and repeatedly.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Thank you for these original bobbins. I wonder how to best stick the cloth for the cushion....

Questions from a very beginner: Is that a "cloth" stitch? I'm very confused. I thought it was called a "closed" stitch (as opposed to an "open" stitch. Are open and closed stitches the same as full and half stitches and how does that relate to a cloth stitch)? If this is a cloth stitch then what is a closed (full?) stitch? What is the difference between a closed (full?) stitch and a cloth stitch? They look the same to me. What am I missing? Please note this these questions are about proper nomenclature for these stitches as well as making the stitches themselves. Lols, I think I might be hopelessly confused.

This was a wonderful I structural video! I really appreciated that you included common mistakes, how to identify and correct them. Thank you so much.

Finally a very clear tutorial😁this will be so helpful! Thank you thank you thank you. It is slow, nondistracting, easy to follow, slow enough that I can work alongside you as a complete beginner. Where do you get your bobbins? They don't sell them where I live and I'm probably going to have to find me a stick and carve them with a knife😕

From 55yrs making....Thanks for emphasizing pin placement and angles. ))Tension control keeps the threads flat on the pricking, keeping from distortion. I recommend NOT talking backwards through UNDOING. Just silently undo (AKA back-em-up) till the threads hang straight. You've called the reverse of cross untwist etc. Motion correct, but brain tangle of words. Think, do, and say only forward. Good choice of colored passive pairs to show pair pathways! Petting bobbins to straighten threads is good fast work rather than lifting each pair separately. ))) I recommend contrasting pricking color to see the threads easier. Print on colored paper or cover with colored film. Medium blue, medium green work well against white thread. Old time prickings were brown parchment or color washed with dilute ink and brush. Spanish use orange which is too hard on my eyes, but works. Ending knot over the new pin is good work too. VIDEO NICELY DONE )))) Stars for you***

Gerçekten çok güzel anlatmışsınız. Videolarınıza devam etmenizi dilerim. Herkes böyle güzel ve açıklayıcı öğretemiyor. Bilmek başka öğretmek bambaşka bir yetenek👏👏👏

I am just starting making bobbin lace. I love it, but am struggling. I have found that no two books or lace makers seem to do the same thing! I was told this is because lace making is such an ancient craft and is broadly located geographically. I have to say, without doubt, this is the best bobbin lace making video I have seen anywhere. I was hoping to find every stitch and step on other videos from you, but there doesn't appear to be any more such videos. As you have such a gift for teaching I must say what I would wish for. Videos on all the basic stitches. Then rose ground, spiders, torchon ground, trails, diamonds etc. Then how to read a pricking. I bought a kit that was to make a small strip of lace with an acrylic ruler you could put it in afterwards. I thought was for beginners, but it came with just the pricking and a pattern. No written instructions. I was completely lost. Deeply embarrassed I have had to contact the company. I think they are going to do some for me, but it has been very humiliating. I really mean this. You are such a good teacher and this is so needed in bobbin lace making. I don't know if you have the time to do something similar to my suggestion, but it would be absolutely brilliant, especially for those of us who are unable to go to a class. Anyway, thanks for this video. All the best, K

Great teaching technique and clear video, thanks heaps ♡. This is A Grade instruction 👏👏👏

May I direct people who buy my beginner's kits to your videos? You explain very clearly.

Thank you for slowing down and explaining in several different ways.

I have always wanted to do bobbin lace. I had all my supplies. The pillow, pins, bobbins and patterns. Of course I tried to have quality threads. On June 30 2018 my kitchen exploded. Both my dog and I died. They worked on my dog but he died while protecting me. Then I died. They worked hard on me. The dog too. I was lifeflighted across the state to a hospital that specializes in fire and in drowning injuries and fire. When I came out of the coma i found I lost everything. I need help to get what I need. I lost it all. Please, if you have informatin, patterns, supplies, pins anf pillows send me the info please! I will try to find a way to pay! I am still somewhat bed bound. I think bobbin lace, tatting, crocheting will all help me live. Please pray for me! Great teaching! Thank you! M Moore.

Love it

You make it easy to me love to you 🤗🤗🤗🤗

This is the best beginner instructional vid I have seen. Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you for a clear, easy to follow video.

Thank you...can u upload more vedio

One of the best videos I have found so far, and that you provide the very basic pattern for free so people can try this craft without having to pay anything. I had all the supplies I needed at home to make make-shift bobbins and pin board so I could test this before spending money.

I recently made a practice project with 6 different colours and it definitely made it easier to see what I was doing.

Thank you so much! im going to make the bobbins now with the beads! are you willing to message me in private to help with some of my questions? I understand if not!!

When making beaded bobbins would it be a good idea to make 2 of the same color and use as a pair, or does it really matter?
