I will never go back to a post shuttle especially after using them. Oh and what lovely things Fox sent you, she is so kind - enjoy.Sally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3744477289341631197.post-10054315629252668702010-06-30T12:11:08.114-04:002010-06-30T12:11:08.114-04:00An amazing package from Fox!

I use bobbin shuttles exclusively (except for the Tatsy when I demonstrate with cotton yarn!) and also have some very special wood ones made here PA in the early '90s. (I intend to post about them soon!) But I highly prize my Aero-Englands.<br /><br />The Aero was a MAJOR advance over the metal Boye shuttles - which in turn were VERY innovative for THEIR time. I believe they came up with the bobbin idea. If not, they certainly set the standard, including the the built-in (so to speak) bobbin-winder extension. <br /><br />There was a time when the Aero was manufactured in Germany, and they made the mistake of putting a rather breakable plastic hook on the end. A (justified) ruckus ensued about the plastic hook! <br /><br />I can't seem to get a full history of the Aero shuttle, but I know that 'new' plastic versions by other manufacturers are not as well made. Either the bobbin is inexplicably diffcult to get out, or the back 'tail' can't accommodate the bobbin for winding! So the Aero-Englands are highly prized - a really perfect design! I think you'll enjoy using it!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.com
