Now I need to see the flower you are going to make. I hope you go closeup so I can see how you are forming it! Thanks!

Out of all the videos I have watched for Bobbin Lace this is the one that I love the most. You are clear and move your hands clearly. I love the quality. I am interested in having bobbins and a pillow made for me. My email address is zannie_broyles@hotmail.com. If you would please provide any information you may have for where I could purchase bobbins and a pillow from I would be very grateful. I would also be very happy to make arrangements for patterns. I am a beginner and would love help.

[NancyToday]

I love watching you make lace! I love seeing how quickly you move the bobbins in your hands.

[YingkayPea]

Thank you very much for your  explaination.

[MrK9angel]

It's soooo relaxing the wooden sound... :)

[ichigatsujohn]

This is amazing, such great work! I love the sound of the bobbins as you move them around, it almost sounds like water falling. I never knew how bobbin lace was made, and I was always curious, thanks for sharing the video.

[aranitatejedora]

Hello! Thanks a lot for your videos, great work. Could you please explain how to begin working the pattern, and how to know how many bobbins are needed for a given pattern?

[Latina0814]

I would like to know where to buy the pillow. Love your work. You take your time in showing how Thanks. Beautiful art work.

@Latina0814 Hi Latina! Thanks for watching. The pillows I have were made by local artisans from Puerto Rico. There are several but I have my favorite. He makes the pillows and bobbins and is a very dedicated person. You can write to my email and I will glad to give you more info. My email is eneida.marrero@yahoo.com.

[NancyToday]

@Latina0814 order them from Holly Van Scriver in Ithaca.

[sodacoaster]

you are amazing! I love how you keep the original art form alive and have not modernized it away from the bobbins.

[Katsudoo]

Where did you get that pillow? I've looked all over for one but I can't seem to find any.

[madejasycafe]

Hi there! We have artisans in Puerto Rico that build these pillows. In particular I know this artisan who works them so beautiful! Give me your email and I will send you more info.

[chickenkarma]

that looks so intimidating and scary. O_O

[missamelie17]

this is awesome! thanks a bunch for sharing ;) how would you recommend someone to begin learning (who has NO experience that is??) thank you.... :)

[NancyToday]

wonderful demo. I love the rhythm of the bobbins in your hands. I'd love to see the lace closely. Thanks.

crazyviolinist1 -- with bobbin lace, at least you'll never find yourself stuck in the rain with a flat tire, no cell phone reception, and on a rural two-way highway in the dark. (i highly recommend that everyone learn how to change a flat tire within 2 days of buying the car. been there, in the dark, changing the tire by the light of a palm pilot. not fun.)

My father in Ohio just died, and he learned to tat as a child and kept it up all his life and passed it on to me. I live in France now. I use a free needle. He was really an artist, he did these freewheeling styles! I see this method done here in France, and enjoy buying the stuff. It's a fun and useful skill.

[Madejaspr]

Sorry about your father. How interesting, is there anywhere I can see his work? I have the needle and the instructions for tating but have never tried. Im glad you stepped by and left a message. Thank you for watching my videos!

[slobomotion]

No, but I own some nice lace work by him, and he got me started by sending me the basic equipment and a how-to book. I must say, it took me about six weeks to learn even the easiest thing, and I only had the time due to a long hospitalization! Best to you!

[madejasycafe]

(Sometimes I do mix them up, lol.) The pattern lets you know which bobbins you need to work with. Thank you for watching.

[idzit]

Amazing! I love the sound of the bobbins clinking together. How do you not mix up all the bobbins?!

[Rainydaywoman5150]

Oh no,there is nothing weird about wanting to learn this craft.I have been trying for about three years now.I have quit then tried again and quit then here I am trying to to learn this again. I believe that it would be easier if I was shown instead of trying to learn from books.Good Luck to you Crazyviolinist1.

[Rainydaywoman5150]

I have been trying to learn this for almost three years. I've been teaching myself from books. There is no one around here for hundreds of miles that knows what this is. Help ???

[madejasycafe]

Thank you for watching my video, I´d love to help you. Pls let me now where are you from and give me suggestions as to how can I help. Do you know how to start? Do you know spanish? Can you give me your email? I love teaching bobbin lace, actually I teach at my home and in an needlework arts school.

[Crazyviolinist1]

I will probably have the same problem soon. I am going to ask for the stuff to make bobbin lace for my sweet 16. (I know, I'm weird! Most people are asking for cars, and I'm asking for bobbins and a lace makers pillow!) I found the e-mail address of someone in my state arts and crafts guild. I may write to her. Once I learn, I hope to teach people at my church crafting group. I'm already teaching crocheting, and cross stitching, and I hope to teach knitting soon.

[ForwardN2Unknown]

My grandma taught me to crochet when I was little and my mother taught me to knit, but I don't know how to make lace. I'm in University now, so I don't have the time.

[NailDesign86]

@Rainydaywoman5150 - Where do you live?

[thrivesurvive]

so cool!

[madejasycafe]

Thank you for taking your time to watch my video. Indeed it does take time to make lace, but it is very rewarding.

[methodistgirl]

That looks as if it would take forever and I

would be confused after the next day on

the lace your making.
