Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking - Rosemary Shepherd

ASIN : B01K17LPGY
Publisher : Batsford Ltd (1 Jan. 1635)
Introduction to Bobbin Lacemaking by Rosemary Shepherd
This book by Rosemary Shepherd was written with the idea that it could be used for distance learning. 

​Rosemary is based in Australia and a number of her students were such a distance that they couldn't attend classes.  
​What works well?
  • One of the things that I like so much about Rosemary's teaching is that she uses colour and thicker thread.  This helps people learning to see how the threads are moving through the lace and easily see if they have made a mistake. ​​
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • This book is out of print, but frequently comes up on eBay.

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 300 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
