One Way to Wind and Hitch Lace Bobbins
The first bobbin is wound with as much thread as it will carry. The trick is not to load the bobbin with too much thread which makes the thread wider than the head. This can cause the thread to skip over the head and get tangled. The second bobbin I wind only the top half of the neck, usually with a meter or less of thread. This is usually enough for my designs, leaving me with only one bobbin with waste thread on. The full bobbin simply refills the empty one as needed.
The hitch uses two loops around the neck.
Different bobbins, thread weights, twists, thread content, and plies can call for different hitches.
Do not be concerned when I say I drop the bobbin on the floor, I am not smashing the beads on ceramic tiles, or throwing the thread into muddy footprints! There is a special little quilt just for the job, I wind so many bobbins, that this gives me the fastest way to measure. Here's my rough guide.
Drop from the waist - sitting = 60cm
Drop from the bust - sitting = 90 cm
Drop from the waist - standing = 1 meter
Drop from the bust - standing = 1.25 meter.

Christmas Stocking 1 - Starting and adding the Red Thread.
มุมมอง 9192 หลายเดือนก่อน
Christmas Stocking 1 - Starting and adding the Red Thread. The red and green gimp pairs are used as single threads, not worked as pairs. Each single bobbin follows it's own path. Start by working the first top row of pins only. This can be with any edge stitch you like. I used a simple half stitch, pin, half stitch, hanging the pairs on temporary pins above the top pins. The stitches need to ha...

Christmas Stocking 2 - Turning and Ending the Green Threads. The red and green gimp pairs are used as single threads, not worked as pairs. Each single bobbin follows it's own path. The green threads are being thrown out (ended) and they need to lie alongside each other for several pins until they are more securely held together, being secured by the double twist on the workers and maybe a few m...

The red threads are being crossed, and need to lie alongside each other until they reach their opposing sides. If you choose to end the red threads here, lay them together until they reach the sides, this way, the thickness of the thr...

Big hearted Bobbin Lace Dachshund. Part 5 - Working the Sequin Heart Valley. The dip (valley) at the top of the heart gives a well defined shape to the heart but the thick thread needs to work 'uphill' for a stitch. This is not a Torchon technique, and you can simply round the top of the heart if you wish to leave it out. There is an extra long, extendable version of this pattern. This is my fr...

      Hi,the dots are dictated by the ground. The ground pairs follow the grid and where they meet the edge,or need to be added/taken out, or turned to go back into the ground is where the pins go. This changes a lot on an organic shape and the Torchon grid does not allow for these irregularities so the lace maker has to make the choice. The outer pin is placed as evenly as possible. I have not marked the pins on this piece because my intention was to show how a piece is worked out when made for the first time.

As someone who had to learn bobbin lacemaking via books and online videos, I very much appreciate when the pattern is interesting, and the instructions/movements are as clear and informational as as the way you present them in your clips. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
