[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2236215, member: 13464"]My pleasure to share; but honestly, learning "basics" of bobbin lacemaking ISN'T that difficult... I have had demonstration pillows set up often at lectures and shows; and have people sit down and work at my direction... they come away saying that it really wasn't that hard. If you think of it in terms of "weaving"... basic weaving - lots of warp threads that just keep a vertical parallel line... and a single weaver that works its' way back and forth. The same principle holds true for bobbin lace. The challenge comes in learning how to put the basic stitches together. I had so many misconceptions as to how it was made when I first became a student... LOL... I basically had to "unlearn" what I knew. I had a VERY patient instructor! One day it was like some one turned on a light bulb and all of a sudden it made perfect sense! If you do have a chance to at least "stand behind" a demonstrator - have her narrate what she's/he's doing while the work is done... it should help a bit! Leslie[/QUOTE]
