I've gone one step further. I found a box of bobbins at a thrift store. Before then I wasn't planning on doing any bobbin lace but now it's very tempting 😄
I hope God gives me a long life. So many beautiful arts I want to learn and teach ny grand daughter. You make it understandable. Thank you for posting.

I'm 73 years old and this is the first time I've seen how to do this one. I'm a very crafty lady and I pray I can do this new one now. I think watching you do this beginners project I already learned, but need to get me the supplies to start. I hope they are not that expensive. I'm glad I found your channel.
I saw someone using clothes pins as bobbins - the kind that have hinges. You can purchase a lot for very little money. AND to practice, you don't need very money and the cost can be kept down by using whatever thread or perle cotton you have on hand. Believe me, if you practice and finish it - you'll love the mess anyway. So ... just keep practicing. Once you are happy with the outcome, you can start to invest in regular bobbins, and thread, and pillow. Be patient with yourself! I took all my bobbins with me to Germany where my friend showed me how to do a bookmark - which is messy and I love it!
Your video got me into bobbin lace a long time ago but I never gave it a go. I made a bunch of bobbins and am making a very wonky version of this now. Thank you for making bobbin lace so easy to approach. 💖
I just watched the video and most of it is great! However, as an experienced lacemaker I have 2 comments. One - you do not need to match your pairs. As soon as you work in half stitch the pairs separate and trying to keep matched pairs together is impossible. Professional lacemakers never tried to match pairs and it is better practice not to, even as beginners. Next - when winding bobbins, particularly with fine white thread you should hold the bobbin in the right hand and turn it. The thread can then be wound hardly touching your hand or fingers keeping it very clean. Happy Lacemaking
Thank you for the info, if you are an experienced lace maker, please make us a video so we can see. so far for me this has been very useful i brought a lace making kit and the instructions are pretty much useless, this has helped me a great deal.
I suggest for beginners to use different colours for every pair. You don't have to match the pairs like this, but still see, where the threads go and see you mistakes faster.
and one more comment: you were making CLOTH STITCHES and you called them the Whole Stitches. The whole stitch has one more twist of both pairs at the end. Ps. I love your tutorials, regardless mix terminology ❤
This video is great! I just recreated the pattern, and used a cork board for my "pillow" and clothespins for my bobbins, and it worked really well! I've never done any bobbin lace before, and while I did end up with one tiny mistake (somehow didn't connect one corner of the zig zag into the rest of the regular stitches) and had to pause and redo a row in the middle, it came out better than I expected for my first project! I'm really excited to do more of this. Also, for other newbies, clothespins really do make wonderful starter bobbins. They don't roll around, can't unravel in the middle of your pattern, can be paired with another by scribbling on them with a sharpie, and they're really cheap!
I know this comment is ancient, but thanks for the tip. I knew I had 20 sharpies for something. I want to try this before I jump in and buy proper supplies. (Will I like it after five minutes? If so, time to build an expansion to the craft room lmao!)
Thanks for the tutorial, I have my grandmothers supplies, I was taught just the basic when I was young, now I am approaching 60 and think I would like to take it up. Thank you so much , I love the pace.
I finally did it I used rough flax (from FINLAND none-the-less!) (turquoise!!!!!!), in a dimly-lot room, on a slice of corrugated cardboard. I stopped and have 6 middle holes having used 5 sets of cards with butterfly clips instead of stick-bobbins. ***** Yup, I’m still alive! Thanks for the instruction. I dunno if I’ll EV-VER do this again!!!
OMG ~ I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN THIS FOR AGES BUT HAD DIFFICULTY LEARNING FROM MY BOOK’S ON THE SUBJECT ~ NOW FINALLY I HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP TEACH ME HOW TO DO THIS PROCESS PROPERLY ~ I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ~ VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!
awesome! I love seeing things like this, it's a dying art of the past and I'm glad that there are people out there who are reviving it. :) I remember seeing my great grandmother when I was a kid showing me some of her bobbin lace samples that she couldnt finish because her eyesight had gotten worse, and working at her singer sewing machine with the pedal, or her quilts she made for family members. my other great grandmother on my mom's side had a huge rug weaving loom that my grandma inherited after she passed. I have a love of "old stuff" and like seeing traditional craft techniques. it's interesting.
You are refreshingly clear in your communication; you move right along, not boring, great diction and tone. Something I will probably never do, but you held my attention. Thanks so much - I totally admire your talent.

I am 46yrs old and this is the 1st time ever seeing this type of artwork, to me everything that we do with our hands is art. I never knew this existed
Yeyyyy thank you! I'm totally new to lace making and made 10 pairs of bobbins using carved pencils and heavy nuts from my brothers workshops (they do look like a spangle at the end😂)Just finished practicing along with you...had to open a gazillion times to get it right...but now I feel so accomplished! Thanks very much for this tutorial!!!💓
I found a random video watching an old Italian lady make bobbin lace and wanted to see how it was done. This video was perfect and you might just have inspired me to try something new! I can crochet with thread but there's just something so classical and beautiful about bobbin lace and how it's done. Thank you!
This is the best bobbin lace tutorial I've seen. You explain every step of the way and I needed that. I do all sorts of needlearts, but this one has had me stumped. Well, this one and some of tatting. I make a lot of crocheted lace using #30 size thread, so it's very delicate, but I've wanted to try bobbin lace for years. I've gradually acquired the "stuff", but getting started has been my stumbling block. Now I'm ready. As soon as I finish this row. LOL THANK YOU!
Awesome to see you make lace and actually teach us viewers! This really is a lot of nostalgia for me. My grandma used to do bobbin lace and actually taught me and my bother how to do it when we were 10. We did it quite a lot back then but unfortunately i haven't been doing this since then (i'm 27 now) and seeing you do this makes me regret that quite a lot.
There is a trick called a weavers knot that you can use to reconnect broken threads and not have to redo your project. I learned it from a weaving teacher for when a warp breaks. The knot is barely noticeable and no thread dangles from it. I will try to remember to do a video demonstrating the knot soon.
Hello! A humble suggestion--if you do not wish to use dye to mark your bobbins, try Sharpie permanent markers. Just give your bobbins about 10 seconds for the marker ink to dry and they are ready to use. Hope this helps those who need to mark their bobbins while being used. Tootles!
This tutorial would be great for people who weren’t so great with crochet or knitting because you have a set pattern to keep you straight. Very good for more technically minded individuals. And this is the BEST bobbin lace introduction video hands down! This really breaks it down for anyone who is intimidated by all the bobbins!
I have been wanting to make lace for 40 years. Somehow I never got around to it. Family responsibilities, work commitments, financial considerations, (lace making classes here in the Uk were too expensive for me), prevented me. Your instructions have given me the confidence to buy the supplies and start to learn. Thank you so much for these clear, well presented, instructions. I'm very grateful.
This is an awesome video. Very well executed, explained, and thoughtful. I can tell you are skilled and you did a great job teaching us how to do this. I told a group of my church girls I would teach them how to make lace headbands. Now I feel confident we can learn a simple version of this awesome craft! Thank you
thank you so much for showing us bobbins lace. It is very easy for us to follow your instructions. I'm french canadian and I love bobbins lace because of your teaching. thank's again
so glad I found this. I was interested in bobbin lace projects, and I am glad it's easier than it looks, though it still has a bunch of patience and keeping an eye on stitches as well. thanks!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for making this video. I've always wondered how bobbin lace was made, and now I have at least some idea. I watched this all the way through. Your pacing is perfect, and you explain things wonderfully.
Thank you so much for this video! I have always wondered how this works. You are a fabulous teacher and make me feel as if I could actually learn this fascinating craft!!! Thanks!
Extremely well explained. The view from the camera is terrific! Thanks so much. Really appreciate that you took the time from your housework to do this - a great contribution. I wish I was close by, I'd clean your house :)
As I am watching this video, I'm just thinking in who in the world came up with this? Who had the time to figure this out?... Lol! It's pretty interesting though!
This dates back before "working moms" before mass production, and media distractions and most else that comsumes our life now lol. The whole world had more time back then......beautiful art
How you have this set up is really great. I can see what's going on with the bobbins and I can see the shape it's making which are key things I need to understand how to do something like this.
RedCardinalCrafts-This is an awesome lesson! I learned more watching this than any bobbin class or video I have ever watched. The camera on the tripod really makes it feel as if I am watching from my own angle, rather than trying to watch someone beside me - Thanks!
I saw this video several months ago and thought it looked really cool. UA-cam keeps suggesting it and putting it in my feed to watch again so I guess now I have a new hobby to learn lol
So glad you posted this! I am concerned about bobbin lace making, and tatting, becoming unknown! I want to learning this if for no other reason than to pass it on. I crochet and do other crafts. I want to learn this as well. THANK YOU!
I just wanted you to know how much i appreciate your videos. You taught me how to do this and i love it so much. You are MY bobbin lace teacher. Thank you so much.
Visiting Brugges in a couple of weeks, have always been interested in lace, since I was a girl and saw a woman in traditional wear. I am definitely going to visit a museum there, should there be one. And....at the moment looking at local courses teaching lace making.
I've wanted to try bobbin lace. This was easy to follow for someone who knows nothing about it. I know as I try it, some of it will make more sense as I do hands on . I love this for a starter video to grasp the basics. And a splendid, simple first project, too.
RedCardinalCrafts Hi, just discovered you, and I saw you commented just a month ago, so I knew this wasn't a "dead" video. Question, my Great-grandmother was a "Champion" ribbon winning lace maker, and she called her method Tating. Is this the same thing? I'm glad to see someone is keeping the art alive. She passed almost 20yrs ago, and she was 92. And she was about the last person in her community who knew "the art". I am glad it isn't lost.
Tatting is another sort of lace, is made with one or two shuttle, it can also be made with a tatting needle. There is plenty of tutorial on youtube for you to watch and maybee learn. I find it easy and you can make a bunch of different items.
Cinnamon Girl Wow, just looked at a video. Definitely NOT what she did. I wonder if the name is a regional thing. Called tating by Kansas Mennonites and different elsewhere.
Well, this is a beautiful and wonderful way to learn or just to refresh your knowledge, in my case. I learned some steps in Spain, but in 20 years I has been living at Miami didn't do nothing. I have pins, different pads, and I would like to go back to this again, is a wonderful craft. Do you know is here at Miami are people who teach or just do bobbin lace tutorial? Congrats because your video is very complete, and your talking is clear. Thanks.
Love this video! I'm so glad you've made it. I have wanted to do this for so long. I would have liked to watch you do every stitch & have you do them slowly- just because repeating helps the mind memorize. I'm not criticizing, just saying what works for me. I'm going to get the supplies & then watch this video 100 more times 😉 and try it! Thank you for making it!!
Amazing all the Ladies in my family 6 generations back in England did this beautiful craft I love the look and no starching my Friend did a butterfly she is a smart woman I am a crocheter knitter and beader I'll keep watching Thanks Marianne 💕
I have enjoyed you bobbin lace videos and they are so easy to follow. I just ordered my own supplies so I can learn this craft myself. I have been making lace with needle tatting and look forward to this method.
😮 When I grow up I’m going to learn to do that … oops! I’m 80 already 🙄 Ok. Not now … 🤷♀️. But thank you so so so much. You are a great teacher!! God bless you ❤
...estou maravilhada com seu vídeo. Me fez recordar de uma senhora que conheci na infância, dona Conceição, uma rendeira conhecida na cidade pelos seus belos trabalhos de "renda de bilros". É assim que essa arte é conhecida aqui no Brasil. As rendeiras, como eram conhecidas, teciam com suas almofadas de bilros, as rendas que eram usadas em vestidos e toalhas. Uma arte esquecida que esse vídeo resgatou em minha memória e na emoção de ter visto de perto esse lindo trabalho e a artesã que despertou esse encanto em mim. Gratidão por compartilhar.
This is my first exposure to this type craft and I judt want to say that it truly could be a mind boggle! However you have a talent for explanation that makes this project look possible to someone who has never tried it before! Thanks 😀 I look forward to checking out your other videos!
I have been interested in learning this artform. Your tutorial is wonderful, I think I might actually be able to make this after I watch it a few times. It was easier for me to understand the parts were I could see what you were doing with the bobbins. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
This is a very fun hobby/craft! I took a class that was offered through the park and recreation of a nearby city. We made a snake.... It was actually pretty easy after about 4 rows. Everyone should do this, it really is fun!
That is an amazingly helpful video. I've just bought a lace making kit and seeing lacemaking in action is going to make the written instructions make much more sense. Can't wait to get started. Thank you.
I had been taught to separate the cords in the floss like you do with embroidery. It makes tge lace finer and helps with the twisting..wetting and drying the floss to get the twisting out also makes it SOOO much easier.
I thank you for that simple way of teaching with all details which is amazing. I could understand and learn it really good. You are amazing . Thank you sooooo much
I have never seen this done before. Looks so easy, compared to what I had thought. It's tripping me out that your voice sounds just like my best friend, even your personality! lol Cheers
The very first time I ever heard of bobbin lace was actually this movie I watched when I was a kid. Madeline Lost in Paris. I don't know why but it stuck with me and when I saw this it brought me back. It'll be fun to give this a try.
I just discovered your channel today and I am very glad that I did. I am at best an amateur at bobbin lace and I have looked for videos on how others work their lace. Most are not in English and not many are more than a few minutes long and are in poor quality to see what is happening well. I am so pleased to see that my self taught from book method is mostly on track. I enjoy your videos and their length and that you talk through everything. Thank you.
An excellent easy to follow tutorial, I've turned bobbins but now I know why they are made in matching pairs or should be in pairs. now I know I shall try to incorporate a coloured collar on each pair to make them more easily identifiable, I might even have a go at making some lace bookmarks
I could visualize this on a larger scale being done for surrey fringe or room divider draping a hundred or so years ago. Beautiful piece in small scale, too. It looks like such fun too. Thanks for sharing.
i'm interested in crafts of all kinds so decided to check this out thinking i would only watch 10-15 minutes to get the general idea. Got so involved, i put it on pause while i had to make supper & then watched the rest while i ate. This is so much better than any of those Most or Oddly Satisfying videos. I find your voice really calm & soothing while you also give out a laid back attitude. With the movement of the bobbins, especially when you sped it up, i found myself getting mesmerized. Even so, i followed & understood all your instructions. I'm sure you would be perfect for making Learn as You Sleep Instructional Recordings. lol :}
OMG I thought about having a go at this but I think that it is totally beyond me what you do is superb I could not even think about it thanks Debbie UK xxxxx
What a beautiful art! I have always been interested in lace. I would love to learn. I love your videos. Very simple and easy to understand. I appreciate you showing the weave of the thread otherwise, I would be mesmerized by the moving of the bobbins 😃
animerlon I just don't know what I would use for bobbins. I could probably use some heavy tent stakes for pins, and do it in the ground and spray paint or chalk out the pattern, but bobbins... Idk man!
Thank you. Some people think I go too slow..I will have a video coming soon with a tutorial and pattern to follow along. Stay tuned. Thanks for watchng.
I'm looking for a new hobby, but I think this is too complicated for me.... wonderful video though, I really enjoyed it!!!! You are awesome!!!! If I were younger I would try this.... you make it look so easy!!! Keep up the videos, you are a natural teacher.....
I loved this! I found you quite by accident but may have just discovered a new hobby! what happens when you take all of the pins out? I would like to see that..
I am intrigued by the concept of pretending that one day I'll try this
Mood... However, with a second quarentine, you vey well might do it! Best of luck😁😘
I am thinking the EXACT thing!! Ha! She makes me want to at least try...
I've gone one step further. I found a box of bobbins at a thrift store. Before then I wasn't planning on doing any bobbin lace but now it's very tempting 😄
Do it, give it a try, so relaxing and rewarding.
I love your comment. I feel the same way
I hope God gives me a long life. So many beautiful arts I want to learn and teach ny grand daughter. You make it understandable. Thank you for posting.
Agreed.
God bless
Worst than that millions will buy everything needed
Start to learn
Then one day randomly stop
I already know i will be one of these people

I finally did it
I used rough flax (from FINLAND none-the-less!) (turquoise!!!!!!), in a dimly-lot room, on a slice of corrugated cardboard. I stopped and have 6 middle holes having used 5 sets of cards with butterfly clips instead of stick-bobbins.
***** Yup, I’m still alive!
Thanks for the instruction.
I dunno if I’ll EV-VER do this again!!!
Do you think next time you could do different colors for each pair. It would make it little easier for me to follow. 😋

I saw this video several months ago and thought it looked really cool. UA-cam keeps suggesting it and putting it in my feed to watch again so I guess now I have a new hobby to learn lol
So glad you posted this! I am concerned about bobbin lace making, and tatting, becoming unknown! I want to learning this if for no other reason than to pass it on. I crochet and do other crafts. I want to learn this as well. THANK YOU!
I just wanted you to know how much i appreciate your videos. You taught me how to do this and i love it so much. You are MY bobbin lace teacher. Thank you so much.
Sabina Marie Aw thank you so much! So sweet of you to say
Visiting Brugges in a couple of weeks, have always been interested in lace, since I was a girl and saw a woman in traditional wear. I am definitely going to visit a museum there, should there be one. And....at the moment looking at local courses teaching lace making.
I am using this guide to start over again, after 30 years! So thank you so much. 😊
This is an awesome beginner video. I was able to make the pattern and follow right along. You explained it all beautifully.
I've wanted to try bobbin lace. This was easy to follow for someone who knows nothing about it. I know as I try it, some of it will make more sense as I do hands on . I love this for a starter video to grasp the basics. And a splendid, simple first project, too.
This video is meant as a complete beginner lesson. I talk about the supplies and work slowly. Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching
brilliant video, away to get started,
RedCardinalCrafts Hi, just discovered you, and I saw you commented just a month ago, so I knew this wasn't a "dead" video.
Question, my Great-grandmother was a "Champion" ribbon winning lace maker, and she called her method Tating. Is this the same thing? I'm glad to see someone is keeping the art alive. She passed almost 20yrs ago, and she was 92. And she was about the last person in her community who knew "the art". I am glad it isn't lost.
Tatting is another sort of lace, is made with one or two shuttle, it can also be made with a tatting needle. There is plenty of tutorial on youtube for you to watch and maybee learn. I find it easy and you can make a bunch of different items.
Cinnamon Girl Interesting. She used bobbins not shuttles. And she twisted the string/thread like this.
Cinnamon Girl Wow, just looked at a video. Definitely NOT what she did. I wonder if the name is a regional thing. Called tating by Kansas Mennonites and different elsewhere.
Well, this is a beautiful and wonderful way to learn or just to refresh your knowledge, in my case. I learned some steps in Spain, but in 20 years I has been living at Miami didn't do nothing. I have pins, different pads, and I would like to go back to this again, is a wonderful craft. Do you know is here at Miami are people who teach or just do bobbin lace tutorial? Congrats because your video is very complete, and your talking is clear. Thanks.
Love this video! I'm so glad you've made it. I have wanted to do this for so long. I would have liked to watch you do every stitch & have you do them slowly- just because repeating helps the mind memorize. I'm not criticizing, just saying what works for me. I'm going to get the supplies & then watch this video 100 more times 😉 and try it! Thank you for making it!!
Amazing all the Ladies in my family 6 generations back in England did this beautiful craft I love the look and no starching my Friend did a butterfly she is a smart woman I am a crocheter knitter and beader I'll keep watching Thanks Marianne 💕
Thank you for this tutorial. It’s really easy to follow. I wanted to learn how to do this for a while now. This is a really great starting point. 👍
I have enjoyed you bobbin lace videos and they are so easy to follow. I just ordered my own supplies so I can learn this craft myself. I have been making lace with needle tatting and look forward to this method.
😮 When I grow up I’m going to learn to do that … oops! I’m 80 already 🙄
Ok. Not now … 🤷♀️.
But thank you so so so much. You are a great teacher!! God bless you ❤
I have never seen this before but it is absolutely amazing . You do explain it very well and your work is beautiful .
...estou maravilhada com seu vídeo. Me fez recordar de uma senhora que conheci na infância, dona Conceição, uma rendeira conhecida na cidade pelos seus belos trabalhos de "renda de bilros". É assim que essa arte é conhecida aqui no Brasil. As rendeiras, como eram conhecidas, teciam com suas almofadas de bilros, as rendas que eram usadas em vestidos e toalhas. Uma arte esquecida que esse vídeo resgatou em minha memória e na emoção de ter visto de perto esse lindo trabalho e a artesã que despertou esse encanto em mim. Gratidão por compartilhar.
This is my first exposure to this type craft and I judt want to say that it truly could be a mind boggle! However you have a talent for explanation that makes this project look possible to someone who has never tried it before! Thanks 😀 I look forward to checking out your other videos!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
Orleana Plytas more than a craft. Its an art 😍
This looks really interesting and something i would give a go. I'm glade it popped up in my feed. Very well done and easy to follow.
Wow, I am already lost at the first whole stitch. Lol. I salute anyone who can do the lace. Special talent.
I have been interested in learning this artform. Your tutorial is wonderful, I think I might actually be able to make this after I watch it a few times. It was easier for me to understand the parts were I could see what you were doing with the bobbins. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Very interesting! I am a woodturner and was going to make lace bobbins, so i watched this to see what they are used for. So cool!
This is a very fun hobby/craft! I took a class that was offered through the park and recreation of a nearby city. We made a snake.... It was actually pretty easy after about 4 rows. Everyone should do this, it really is fun!
I think you are doing a fine job it is a beginning lesson .Thankyou
That is an amazingly helpful video. I've just bought a lace making kit and seeing lacemaking in action is going to make the written instructions make much more sense. Can't wait to get started. Thank you.
I had been taught to separate the cords in the floss like you do with embroidery. It makes tge lace finer and helps with the twisting..wetting and drying the floss to get the twisting out also makes it SOOO much easier.
Mind boggling. Would to try my hand at this art. Thanks for the video.
I thank you for that simple way of teaching with all details which is amazing. I could understand and learn it really good. You are amazing . Thank you sooooo much
I have never seen this done before. Looks so easy, compared to what I had thought. It's tripping me out that your voice sounds just like my best friend, even your personality! lol Cheers
The very first time I ever heard of bobbin lace was actually this movie I watched when I was a kid. Madeline Lost in Paris. I don't know why but it stuck with me and when I saw this it brought me back. It'll be fun to give this a try.
I just discovered your channel today and I am very glad that I did. I am at best an amateur at bobbin lace and I have looked for videos on how others work their lace. Most are not in English and not many are more than a few minutes long and are in poor quality to see what is happening well. I am so pleased to see that my self taught from book method is mostly on track. I enjoy your videos and their length and that you talk through everything. Thank you.
Your very welcome. Check out my video #123 where I show a more advanced bookmark. Thanks for watching!
MyLittlePinkCottage
An excellent easy to follow tutorial, I've turned bobbins but now I know why they are made in matching pairs or should be in pairs. now I know I shall try to incorporate a coloured collar on each pair to make them more easily identifiable, I might even have a go at making some lace bookmarks
Thank You. I am new to this and I learn a lot from your videoes. It is like sitting with a clever friend 🤗
This is just fascinating...I could watch it on loop all day...
I need some bobbins!!! :)
Hi, Thanks. Here’s another video of mine that I did recently and you don’t need bobbins. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/874r3ds6DHI/v-deo.html
ive always wanted to learn this but was to intimidated. Thanks for posting. I think I am now going to order supplies. .
I could visualize this on a larger scale being done for surrey fringe or room divider draping a hundred or so years ago. Beautiful piece in small scale, too. It looks like such fun too. Thanks for sharing.
i'm interested in crafts of all kinds so decided to check this out thinking i would only watch 10-15 minutes to get the general idea. Got so involved, i put it on pause while i had to make supper & then watched the rest while i ate.
This is so much better than any of those Most or Oddly Satisfying videos. I find your voice really calm & soothing while you also give out a laid back attitude. With the movement of the bobbins, especially when you sped it up, i found myself getting mesmerized. Even so, i followed & understood all your instructions.
I'm sure you would be perfect for making Learn as You Sleep Instructional Recordings.
lol :}
started bobbin lace making the other day. this video has helped me no end. Thank you
great video! I'm excited to see your other work. thank you for posting.
You said you didn't know which we wanted to see, I like it the way you did it. I can still see you working the bobbins.
This is amazing! I've never watched anyone do this before. The stitches remind me somewhat of macrame. It's lovely. 💗 Thanks for sharing! 😀
I really enjoy your instructions - so detailed, so complete. Thank you!!!
I got into shuttle tatting fairly recently and am seriously considering giving this a shot as well. Thank you for such a well done tutorial!
OMG I thought about having a go at this but I think that it is totally beyond me what you do is superb I could not even think about it thanks Debbie UK xxxxx
What a beautiful art! I have always been interested in lace. I would love to learn. I love your videos. Very simple and easy to understand. I appreciate you showing the weave of the thread otherwise, I would be mesmerized by the moving of the bobbins 😃
Thank u for the lovely presentation 👍 Iam a bigginer in this bobbin lace This presentation is value for me & i❤️ for it very much
You compared the thread to rope and now I have the sudden desire to scale this up with actual rope....
Oh yes! Please do & post a video of it. It would seriously be cool to see, & i'm way too lazy to do it. You could make a hammock with it.
animerlon I just don't know what I would use for bobbins. I could probably use some heavy tent stakes for pins, and do it in the ground and spray paint or chalk out the pattern, but bobbins... Idk man!
Nicholas Nace I was thinking the same thing! and you could use wooden spoons for bobbins maybe?
bobbins also known as spools
or a rel of line
This was a great video and I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I like how you explain and teach
Thank you. Some people think I go too slow..I will have a video coming soon with a tutorial and pattern to follow along. Stay tuned. Thanks for watchng.
This is the first time I have seen this, I would have to watch this a few times while doing it before I can fully understand it.
Thank you for sharing! I like your pacing, camera angles, and friendly voice. Great video!
First of all, I rarely comment on anything, but you are adorable!!! I love your confessions of procrastination 😂
I would so love to learn this!!!
Maryann Roberts Aww you’re so sweet. Thank you
I love this idea. Thanks for posting this.
Muito obrigada ❤. I could finally understand this crazy movements hahaha. Now I'm encouraged enough to buy my first supplies 🎉
I'm looking for a new hobby, but I think this is too complicated for me.... wonderful video though, I really enjoyed it!!!!
You are awesome!!!! If I were younger I would try this.... you make it look so easy!!!
Keep up the videos, you are a natural teacher.....
Becky Shock perhaps try tatting...specifically needle tatting. Easy to learn, quick and beautiful.
Embroidery? It's less confusing but might lead to poked fingers.
I was watching some other video about bobbin lacing, and i thought it looked like 4 strand braiding and it seems like i was correct! fascinating!
I never seen lace made before. I loved watching you make it.
I also heard kittens in the background near the end of the video. I love cats too. ☺
Nestor Cruz and Terri Palacios Thanks, those we’re actually our guinea pigs. 😊
Thank you. I am thinking of taking it. Your instructions are pretty easy.
This is the best explaination that I have ever heard. :) Thank you for sharing.
Susan Shriver Howell Thank you for watching, enjoying and commenting. Take care.
I have been learning bobbin lace for years
I use DMC size 80 or Lizbeth size 80
I loved this! I found you quite by accident but may have just discovered a new hobby! what happens when you take all of the pins out? I would like to see that..
Wow. Tedious but rewarding i bet. Really beautiful
pretty,really simple instructions too, Ill pick this up again i will
Celestea Deanes did you pick it up again? Genuinely curious
