A classic text,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
Includes everything you need to know to make bobbin lace. The patterns are simple and attractive with an emphasis on yardage laces for trim as opposed to motifs and doileys. If you're taking up lacemaking on a budget, this is the book for you. This one was written during the Dark Times when lacemaking equipment was scarce, so there is a chapter included on making your own pillow and bobbins. This is a keeper.

Easy to follow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
This is the book I used to get started with making bobbin lace. The directions for the patterns start out with excruciatingly exact and precise details. As you move farther into the book, the directions assume a certain level of experience and become less detailed. That's okay, by the time you get to those lessons, you already know what a half-stich and cloth stitch are and no longer need that level of detail. I heartily recommend this book to all of my students.

Lacemaking in English,
By Lori Howe (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)
Fro many years this book was the only book on Lacemaking available in English and we are so grateful for it. But almost all the English language books available today use a different method from this one, and it would be confusing to start with this method and then have to change when buying any other English book. It might be better to start with the method you will continue with. But if you have a teacher from Belgium this would be the method she will use.(as opposed to an American or English teacher)
