Boye 3707413000M Metal Needle Tatting Shuttle

The Boye tatting shuttles I have been using for more than twenty years are from 20+ years ago. I love them because they were made in the US. A friend of mine misplaced one of hers, so I replaced it. A noticeable difference can be observed between the two. The shuttle was manufactured in China, according to an examination I just completed. I prefer my old Boye shuttle, which was smooth, to the new one, which has rough and sharp edges. There is an obvious difference in thickness of the metal. In order to use the new shuttle, I will have to file down the edges to prevent himself or myself from being cut. Despite the fact that you might be able to make your shuttles much more cheaply now, they are useless.

The general feeling is one of disliking. Pulling on your thread is all that is necessary to make the bobbin turn. Your hands and thread can be damaged by the rough edges of the metal. I am completely unaware of what the hook is, other than being flat metal with a little hook on the end. You should also keep your eyes open for random sales.

Since the new bobbins will work with my vintage shuttle, I wanted to get some extra bobbins because I've been tatting for more than 40 years with vintage shuttles. For a friend who wants me to teach her how to play, I decided to order an extra shuttle. The shuttle I received was disappointing. I feel like the sides of the device are really rough and it is made of thinner metal. The shuttles work fine, but I'll keep using my old ones. My friend has asked me to send this to him, but I am not sure whether that is okay.

I appreciate the shuttle service. When first wound, the bobbin looks a little tight, but with a bit of use it loosens up to a nice tension. The process of winding it can also be challenging. My lightbulb moment occurred after I read this maybe it's common knowledge but I didn't realize it You can put the non-refundable amount here The end of the shuttle should go into the hole in the center of the bobbin, this makes it easier to hang on to while winding your threads.

Boye products have always been a favorite of mine, so I was very eager to try this one. The company has been around for a very long time. It is a great idea to purchase extra sewing bobbins (check the size) This is a very ancient technique for making lace. It may have been done with a large sewing needle since Elizabethan times. There is a good chance that the shuttle was invented in the 1920s. Lace is a beautiful material, but it takes a lot of time to make.

Those on the shuttle worked on lace tatted. As far as I can tell, it was effective. The shuttles on Amazon are hard to find in many fiber related stores anymore, so I was pleased to find them there.

Among the tatting shuttles I own, this style is one of my favorites to work with because I can easily switch out colors by using different bobbins rather than having to remove one color and re-attach it. Ensure that the thread is once again cinched. Make sure you don't forget to take some time to adjust to it if you purchase one of these. In my opinion, the spring tension on the shuttle was a little too tight, preventing the shuttle from spinning freely. All I had to do was make a few adjustments, and it worked great! It was a reasonable price.

A removable bobbin is one of the things I like about this shuttle. Metal is strong enough for me, so there is no concern about breaking it if I step on it.
