Attempting Tatting

mipennsn · 10-06-2014, 09:57 AM

I inherited 2 loaded tatting shuttles a long time ago. So I am trying it out.

Any good tutorials?

I'm not stalking you today, I promise

http://www.intatters.com/ is a great resource - I needle tat, but that community has a good mixture of both

Good luck!

I'm excited to see this thread. I really do want to take up shuttle tatting, as it is a family tradition, lost by two generations. My great grandmother had only a single son, and my mom is useless with needlecraft like that. I was too young when she died to understand that I could have asked her to teach me.

I have been trying to get shuttle tatting for awhile, but it isn't a one-handed craft for sure. I bought the Crafty class when it was half-off, but I think this one is as good tatted treasures (maybe better).

I have one more Halloween costume to make and then I plan on working more on my tatting, so far, I've just done some simple butterflies and flowers and just practiced my chains and rings. I love how inexpensive it is (comparatively speaking anyways-I am currently having to put my knitting on hold until after Christmas when I can buy more yarn and new needle set).

I learned out of some old library books. I have always been suprised to find tatting books at every library system I have lived.

I have the smallest library ever, but even my tiny library has one tatting book

I cannot learn to do any craft from a book, I am so thankful for youtube so I can actually see what to do.

Reb posted this website awhile back for tatting supplies Handy Hands They sent a really nice catalog with newsletter and free patterns plus several of their thread samples very pretty and enough to practice with.

The subject is fresh on my mind because on Saturday, DH's cousin told DH at their grandma's birthday party that it's his latest adventure.

I thought "maybe this is more common than I thought." She's a nurse, nurses use needles...
