In period, the main use for bobbin lace was for collars (the traditional [[Elizabethan]] collar), turned-back sleeve [[edgings]] and as edgings along the dress (eg passements along the [[stomacher]] or [[metallic lace]] along the seams).

	One of the best sources to see period bobbin lace is, of course, "Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe Unlock'd" - where there are many pieces of lace (Elizabeth was aparrently quite fond of lace). However, it is often difficult to tell whether the lace is bobbin or [[needle ~~lace\|needle-made~~ lace]].

	While needle lace was preferred, it was very expensive due to the vast amount of time it took. As far as I've been told, bobbin lace was often employed as an alternative and, where possible, copied the style of the needle lace. To give a basic understanding of why, bobbin lace generally takes between 1 and 2 hours to do a square inch of lace. Needle lace takes longer...

While quite versatile, bobbin lace suffers from inherent limitations of material that needle lace does not. Consequently, you can quite often identify which is which by looking carefully for such things as triangles in the pattern (a sure sign of needle lace).

	Most modern bobbin laces are definitely [[out of period]] - this includes ~~torchon~~, ~~honiton~~ and ~~bedfordshire~~ (beds) laces. The main type of bobbin lace that was in period was called passements which looked like elaborate arches filled with filigree. These were generally used in a repeating pattern (often two shapes interleaved) and were used at first to edge collars - both for males and females.

	Early on, the passements went around a square or circular collar. Later, the passements were often attached to a wider pattern consisting of squares filled with filigree, and this was generally made of needle-lace, though bobbin-lace was also used in these (especially where the person couldn't afford the expense of the needle lace).

	The ~~elizabethan~~ collars were of the same basic pattern, but made in a circular fashion. They were made over a circle in size so that they could be ruffled and the final product would be a circle.
