Poll - why do you buy bobbins?

In our 4th poll, May 9th, we asked why do you buy bobbins.  208 members of the FTM Facebook group voted.

And big surprise .... NOT ... 32% of us buy them because They are pretty.  Do you need a better excuse than that?

If you add to that the 16% who bought a bobbin just because I could then we have 48% of us buy bobbins just ... well, because.  And why not!

Great to see that we are buying commemoratives - between celebrating lace days, national/international events and personal/family events, that accounts for 32% of our bobbin buying.  

But don't forget bobbin a month clubs.  A great way to build up a collection from your favourite maker.​
