5.0 out of 5 stars Nice And Sturdy, December 13, 2007

By 

ShawnTheMom (Texas) - See all my reviews

This is a nice sturdy shuttle. I've had mine for about four years and it has gone through quite a bit of abuse but has survived it all. I bought a package of extra bobbins for mine so I can have extras that I've already put thread on. I think it's nice being able to just pop in a new bobbin instead of having to stop what I'm doing to wind more thread. It also keeps me from having to bring a large ball of thread with me when I'm out and about. I just bring a hand full wound bobbins with me instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Shuttle, January 7, 2011

This review is from: Boye Metal Tatting Shuttle

I've worked with a lot of shuttles and always come back to this one. It's versatile and it feels good in my hand. I like the removable bobbin (spares available!) because it makes it so much easier to wind and unwind. The hook makes it easy to do joins. You can adjust the tightness of the bobbin by squishing or widening the body of the metal shuttle. I've used this shuttle with both ordinary and very fine thread (I had some silk quilting thread that came out gorgeous). It worked fine for making beaded tatting.

2.0 out of 5 stars The edges are Extremely sharp!, August 21, 2011

This review is from: Boye Metal Tatting Shuttle

The removable bobbin might be convenient for some, however the edges are Extremely sharp, the hook too large, and the metal wrapped around the hook at the end catches thread. The shuttle is uncomfortable, and if the edges or metal at the hook end do not break your thread, it can definitely mar it.
