Back from Convergence, slept several days, now I'm ready to start doing stuff.
When I first started doing Chinese Braiding, I used a pillow and some bolts, very unsatisfactory. Then a braiding stand was made out of a stool and a rag shuttle and used bobbin lace bobbins, better but still unsatisfactory.
These are the bobbin lace bobbins with washers for weights but the bobbins are made to have the thread slide. When braiding the thread is stationary until you move it. Also the washers kept cutting the ties and they were noisy.
I purchased these from
"The Lacemaker" I just love her shop, it has everything for making every type of lace and she knows how to do them all.
Tonight I'm going to fill these new bobbins and start a braid so I can get on with the embroidery part.
