I ...This has been an amazing saga to watch unfold! I can't get over how quickly Diane acquired several of these shuttles, and blogged about them, even though she prefers 'post' shuttles! I somehow missed seeing the very large one that she already had in her fabulous shuttle collection, and didn't know such a thing existed! <br /><br />How wonderful for her to send these to you, and we certainly appreciate your excellent reviews of them - not to mention your own efforts in making one! You seemed to be on the right track! <br /><br />Of course, the shuttle makers are to be commended, as bobbin shuttles are quite difficult to create, whether in wood or plastic. The Aero/England is a marvel of perfect engineering, and the invention of the metal bobbins in the first place was, to me, a giant step forward for tatting. The internet has made this kind of collaboration possible, and I marvel at the speed at which this has transpired!<br />Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-6808843042212631982015-09-23T14:34:25.715+01:002015-09-23T14:34:25.715+01:00Those are lovely!

Are they all the same in terms of bobbin capacity, or is there a particular model you recommend? I normally tat with finer threads, but have been working with size 10 for a few projects lately, and could use the bigger bobbins.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01761573521338194396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-2817954057810782282015-09-23T09:17:48.085+01:002015-09-23T09:17:48.085+01:00Hi Bernice, I must admit for regular tatting, I wi...Hi Bernice, I must admit for regular tatting, I will always prefer my Aeros: the size is great and really comfortable to work with and they are the lightest! But for special projects with thicker thread, I think the Elite with its large capacity will be a great addition to my collection. In this case, it has to be thicker to accommodate the bigger bobbin and I think Sandi has done a great job of not making it too big.
