Can I have my bobbins spangled?

Yes, I carry a range of pre made spangles that I can fit for you at a cost of £1 per bobbin. I will choose the best match for you. If you want a large amount of bobbins all spangled the same then I can buy in beads specially but I do not keep a range of loose beads in stock.

What are the delivery costs?
All my delivery costs are on my Terms page

Do you paint special orders?
Yes, We can paint bobbins for almost any occasion you want. Adding a design and wording of your choice.

Will the painting wear off?
No, under normal conditions of use the designs will stay intact. I use a very hard wearing lacquer and each bobbin is dipped 5 times to give a silky smooth finish that is incredibly hard wearing.

How long will it take to receive my order?
If I have the bobbins in stock then they can be sent out within 24hours. If the bobbins need to be made up then delivery is between 1-4 weeks. Commemorative orders and pet portraits can take up to 12 weeks. I can give you a better idea when you contact me.

Do you have a shop?
No, but you can visit if you make a prior appointment.

Can you paint a portrait of my relative or friend  people?
No, sorry.

Will you attend our lace event?
Yes, just let me have the details and I can then check a few details with you and hopefully attend your event.

Are the designs transfers?
No, all the design you see on my web site are beautifully painted by hand!

Can you paint my pets portrait?
Yes, just send me a photo by standard mail or email along with any names and dates you want added. More details here
