The fact that one is made with bobbins and the other with needle also makes them look differently. Probably not to a novice, but most advanced lace makers can distinguish them. Also it takes considerably more time to make the same amount of needle lace and that is a reason why bobbin lace was invented.
To properly use a bobbin lace pillow to create intricate lace designs, first secure the pattern to the pillow. Then, wind threads onto bobbins and place them on the pillow. Use pins to hold the threads in place as you weave them together following the pattern. Move the bobbins in a specific sequence to create the desired lace design. Practice and patience are key to mastering this intricate craft.

Depends on the machine brand. To determine which way to load the bobbin into the bobbin case you need to determine which way the slot is facing that the tread slides into prior to it slipping under the tension clip. Hold the bobbin case with the opening away from you with the slot facing up. If the slot on the bobbin case is facing to the left put the bobbin into the case with the thread spinning the bobbin counter clockwise. If the slot on the bobbin case faces to the right put the bobbin into the case with the thread spinning the bobbin clockwise.
