I highly recommend the Piece 'O Cake ladies books or tutorials. They give very detailed instructions on needle-turn.
Thanks - I will have to look into that book. I actually tried to purchase those bobbins but they were out so I ordered the silk thread. I will try that for the next go around but will keep an eye out for those bobbins if the silk doesn't work for me. We will see - lol - this is all new to me!!
