learn to tat

A lady from my church taught me how on a Monday night and a long delay from a flight on Thursday secured it in my mind. I printed some instructions from a website called This’n’tat if I forgot anything, and that was that. I finished my first project (a cross bookmark) a few days later.

I am really glad I learned how and I hope to be able to pass it down to the next generation!

now I want to learn to tat! What a beautiful, lost art :)

I’ve been trying to learn to tat for about 50 years, did manage to learn the very basics of making a ring last year, then quit. Last month I decided to try again, had someone tell me needle tatting was easier, so I bought a video, book and needles, and have been learning that way, and it is much easier, but still want to master shuttle tatting.

I bought a tatting shuttle today. Now I need to get some thread and find some really simple instructions.

hi i want to lean hoe to tat has any instrustions on how to d it

I tried it for a while, took some lessons from my mom. I decided I’m not quite motivated enough to overcome my lack of fine motor skills.

And I did watch it but haven’t done much else. I also posted some patterns I want to try from the Internet to my wiki.

My cousin showed me the basics – with a shoestring. I don’t think I remember it exactly, but at least I’ve got an idea. Any suggestions?

ordered needles, and already created a first little sample. Now I need some pattern books so I can make something useable. I’ve created a wish list on Nordic Needle and plan to get to this a bit later.

i’m done accomplished
