Customer comments

Hi Malcolm, just got my bobbins and was very glad to see them! I'm glad you are getting back to normal - that was quite a year you had. Anyway the bobbins are lovely - after I've fondled them for a while I'm going to put them to use, they are sooo smooooth. (J.B.)

This is to let you know that I received the bobbins today. They are beautiful. I will definitely enjoy using the bobbins and tell other lacemakers about your website (M.K.)

I have purchased hundreds of bobbins ( my patterns usually require no less than 100 at a time) and I have found that the head of yours works best. The knotted thread never slips off. Plus your bobbins are so smooth and elegant. They are a joy to use. (F.S.)

I'm also glad you've been able to stick with this business and not give up move on to something more traditional. Your work is really exceptional, and I believe will be collected in the next century as we do a few from the last. (D.B.)

The first 5 pair of bobbins came last Saturday. Today the other 5 pair of bobbins came and the first set of the bobbins for the year. They are all so nice! Thank you so much.(A.S.)

NEVER STOP MAKING BOBBINS! Your bobbins are gorgeous, and I have the pleasure of receiving a pair every now and again. (S.J.)

The bobbins arrived on Christmas eve, and they are fantastic! The acrylic material is pretty....I'm partial to it, and getting two pairs is really nice. Thanks for the special edition.... They are really stunning too, and the carnelian spangles are great. (C.A.)

Malcolm, I treasure each and every bobbin you have made. I remember which woods are which, even once the tags are off.(C.A.)

I truly enjoy the delicacy and love of the wood that your work expresses! (A.M-F.)

Dear Malcolm: I have the bobbins. They arrived the day before Christmas. It was perfect, and the bobbins are great. Thanks. (C.H.)

When I first started ordering from you, I was a brand new lacemaker. Now that I've been at it for a while, and have used bobbins from other makers, I want to tell you that your bobbins are not only the most beautiful, but also the most delightful to use. I constantly receive compliments on your bobbins! (B.J.)

I'm glad you're still making the bobbins. It is always a pleasure to open the package and find the beautiful bobbins inside.(B.N.)

. Everyone I show them to is amazed at the beauty and quality. Hopefully some of them are even ordering. (L.H.)

As usual, your bobbins are smooth and elegant. I am using a pair of yours with 36/2 cotton and the thread stays in place and when I need more the thread just slides off. Love it!!! (S.G.)

Hi Malcolm, thankyou for the bobbins which arrived in today's post. They are the most beautiful bobbins I have. You are a real craftsman! Thanks again. (K.E)

The bobbins arrived and I am very pleased. The pictures on the website don't do them justice. I was surprised by the pink ivory ones--they are more pink than I thought they would be--a very attractive color. (D.O.)

... it was a great treat to find them when we returned. Beautiful as usual! I was always amazed that my mom could tell a piece of furniture by her favorite maker by running her hands over the piece, even with her eyes shut. She laughs now, because I can tell every time when I've come to one of your bobbins on my pillow! (L.H)

...just to let you know I got my second lot of bobbins yesterday - cheered me up as I was laid low by a nasty bug. Thanks they are lovely and so silky feeling. (J.B.)

...thank you for the gorgeous bobbins which arrived yesterday and which have been almost instantly pressed into use in a Bucks point pattern that needs 52 pairs and a few gimps - must be mad. While I'm very attached to the standard bobbins and my collection of different timbers, the special patterns are mind-blowing - I'll order some more next time I think I deserve a present. (D.H.)

Bobbins arrived safely. Very beautiful! Thanks sooooo much. I'll be watching your Web site for more designs/wood. (C.L.)

I just received the new pair of 'Bobbin Club' bobbins. Thank you so much. They are beautiful. They went straight onto my lace pillow. (R.M.)

Very impressed with the quality of workmanship on the bobbins I bought before Christmas. Much appreciated by the person I gave them to. Many Thanks. (I.K.)

Several years ago, I purchased two of your bobbins from a friend in my lace circle who used to run a home business, here in Vancouver. They have been the stars on my pillow. So I bought three more from her last night. I mentioned your web-site and your Bobbin Club and Leda said "that's the guy who makes these bobbins!" Thank you so much for creating such beautiful objects. Hopefully they will inspire my lace making to match your artistry. (J.R.)

Thanks for the Tasmanian Collection lace bobbins which I opened today (having been away for the festive season!). They are lovely woods, turned with your usual care and skill - I look forward to using them soon. (E.W.)

My shipment of bobbins arrived just before Christmas. They are even more beautiful than the web site makes them look. I am so pleased, and I'm sure I'll be ordering from you again. (B.J.)

You have the best looking bobbins I have found on the web. (A.B)

I have no problem with the new prices - there are plenty of  inferior bobbins out there for higher prices. (D.H.)

I thought I'd let you know the bobbins arrived. Thanks much they are beautiful! (A.L.) As usual the bobbins are BEAUTIFUL. (S.G.)

The bobbins came in yesterday's mail -- they are even better than the pictures show. (M.D.)

I just wanted to let you know that I received the Outback Collection. Thank you, once again, for your wonderful bobbins!!!! (J.A)

Your web site is one of the best I have seen among Lace suppliers. Clean, clear and very easy to navigate. And the pictures of your work are absolutely spectacular....(S.B.).

.. the first pair of bobbins have arrived and they are gorgeous. I am so looking forward to the next year. Thanks (J.B)

... all of my bobbin orders have arrived--the two separate orders and the first bobbin club. As usual, they are wonderful!--and have already been put to work! Thank you so much! (L.D.)

Thank you very much for your help with the bobbins. Mum received them at the end of last week and is thoroughly delighted with them. This is especially true as she already had some of yours - which were among thefirst bobbins that she ever bought some 9-10 years ago when you were still UK based. Anyway, she says they are "beautiful" ... (A.L.)

The bobbins arrived today. Beautiful! (L.H.)

What a nice surprise to come home and find these beautiful bobbins waiting for me! (C.A.)

Went to a local lace day on Saturday, and everyone was thrilled that I had some more of your bobbins. 100 years from now (if not sooner) collectors will hunt tirelessly to own one of your bobbins. Maybe even one of mine too, although painted bobbins certainly won't hold up the  way yours will. From one artist to another, it's nice to be appreciated in our own time! (A.L.)

Received the second set of bobbins today. They are beautiful, and the spangling is wonderful too. Thanks, I can hardly wait to put them to use! (A.H.)

Hi, Just received my first bobbins. Thank you so much. They are really beautiful. (A.L.)

I received the bobbins today, in good order. They are INCREDIBLE. Can't wait to get them on my pillow. Afraid I'm spoiled now. (D.B.)

Thank you for my bobbins, received today and also a pair last week. Such an embarrasse de richesse. Your bobbins are the nicest ones of all in my opinion and I now hope to fulfil my ambition to have a pillow full of your lovely bobbins doing something really complicated. (L.I.)

The [Outback collection] bobbins arrived this morning, Sat. 18th March . I am absolutely delighted, they are lovely. Thank you very much. We plan to photograph them with labels for identification. (J.B.)

Thank you so much for the lovely bobbins. Those that I had ordered plus the ones added as a bonus. How very kind of you!!! I will treasure them always. (L.C.)

I am running out the door to pick up the children from school, but I had to tell you that your bobbins just arrived safely! I am so thrilled to have them! They are every bit--and more!--as beautiful and incredibly delicate as I anticipated. I feel honored to hold them and can't wait to put them on my pillow! (L.D.)

I was thrilled to receive the Tasmania Collection in the mail today. I am happy that you are back to the lathe. (A.M.)

I received the Outback Collection yesterday. Thank you very much! Bobbins and spangles are just beautiful and matched very nicely! Please let me  know when you have special bobbins again. I  appreciate your craftsmanship. (S.T.)

The remainder of the bobbin order arrived yesterday. They are beautiful--thank you so much. I do hope you will be able to continue making bobbins even on this smaller scale, as you make such beautiful ones! I would love to continue ordering from time to time. Whenever you have some in stock, please let me know. Thank you, again, for taking this order--I didn't mind waiting--they are worth it! (J-A.K)

Thank you for the bobbin which I received today. Quick service. I have spangled it to put in my bobbin roll to take to IOLI convention this weekend. I really appreciate you replacing the broken one. Thanks again, (J.B.)

I received my spangle order and bobbin order last week. The bobbins are very beautiful, and I continue to look forward to future shipments (hopefully, for the rest of my life, or as long as you continue to make bobbins - whichever comes first). (J.A.)

Just a note to let you know they arrived. They are exquisite as usual. The grains on the woods are just beautiful along with the workmanship. Thank you for thinking of me when you had a supply. Please continue to think of me in the future too. (B.B.)

Just wanted to say thank you for sending some of the bobbins! What a wonderful Christmas surprise. They are truly lovely. They are going on my pillow tomorrow. I really appreciate all of your effort. (G.Q.)

They are exquisite!! It is really nice to see the ones I have never seen before. The 29d is just wonderful. Your choice of wood colors is incredible. I love them!! (A.L.)

Your delay for delivery was not as long as my delay in letting you know just how thrilled I was to receive four pairs of your bobbins as a Christmas gift from my DH. They are so very beautiful! What an addition to my pillow! It makes me feel like a professional when I use it. Just wanted you to know that your skill is appreciated. Thank you (A.Y.)

I wanted let you know that everyone is delighted with the wonderful bobbins. (T.U.) Any tool that performs it's function well is fun to use, but if it can be functional and beautiful both, then it is a joy. Your work is in a class by itself. These really are the nicest bobbins I've ever handled. (C.A.)

Thanks very much for the quick service .... (S.C.)

The Tasmanian Collection of bobbins received with rave reviews on Christmas Day. Comment was that they were of better quality and workmanship then any other Australian bobbin known to my wife. (P.S.)

Just a note to say your lovely Tasmanian bobbins arrived safely and I am more than pleased with them. They are absolutely lovely. (D.H.)

The bobbins arrived and they are even more wonderful than I hoped. I can't wait for Christmas so that I can see how excited my mom will be when she receives them. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know how pleased I am. (R.R.)

I have to tell you that these bobbins are even nicer than the pictures, and their feel is terrific. I am really impressed. The others I have pale in comparison. (C.A.)

Thank you for the Grandmother bobbin - it is quite exquisite and arrived sooner than expected ....(W.L.)

Thanks again and bravo for the service and the organisation!...as you say :"bobbins last forever" (but internet tech. provides the best access to your customer). (J.B.)

The bobbins arrived safely yesterday - thank you so much. They are far more beautiful than I expected. I shall now be treating myself from time to time with more pairs. (D.C.)

I received your bobbins about two weeks ago. Thank you! I am looking at your new homepage, and I love it! I always appreciate people who create beautiful stuff! (S.M.T.)

I attended my first meeting of the Golden Gate Lacers yesterday--it is a nice group of women and I feel fortunate to have found them. I feel even more fortunate, however, that I joined them on a day when they had your consignment order available for purchase. Mr. Fielding, your bobbins are exquisite. How proud you must be of your talent! Well, I just wanted to let you know of my joy in now owning six of your bobbins. I will definitely be purchasing more of them. Thanks again for a lovely product (C.)

I ordered three bobbins from you last week for my friend, and I'm just emailling to say they arrived and they're great! I particularly like #32.. it's a very attractive design. These are going to make her very happy! Thanks for your great work and prompt service. (S.W.)

The bobbins came yesterday and they are absolutely lovely! ... Your bobbins are luscious and sensual, both visually and to touch. (A.E.)

I received the bobbins on Friday, all three boxes. Great. As usual, they are beautiful, and it's so pleasurable to touch them. Actually, there is a lacemaker in the guild who keeps telling me that she can alway know when she reaches one of your bobbins because of its very distinctive smoothness. (M.B.)

Many thanks for sending the bobbins, they are lovely. (L.McL.).
