The link is great... I have, what I call, my practice shuttles so I can try new things and not mess up my working project... I can't wait to get to this one!!! Thanks again ... Can't wait to see more video's!!!
Just tried this... WOW!!! This is great!!! With a little practice I will have this down and be ready to use it in a project... I am so glad you explained these terms... Detail is most important in tatting ...
Thank you Curtis. I enjoy helping others so much to learn this beautiful craft. Here is the links to the newest channels I have done for the online classes. These videos on this channel will be coming down and replaced with some newer ones. These are the first videos I had ever made and was trying to work the kinks out as I went along. So here are the links to the other channels.

Great video! What I don't understand is, what do have to do to get the finished look on both rings and chain? Keep going in the same direction? Or do you reverse between rings and chains?
Hi Louise, The shuttles on this video are just moonlit shuttles by handy hands. I decoupaged some fabric scraps on them and then covered with a clear varnish and it gave a bit of grip to the shuttles so that I could keep them in my hands and not flying off somewhere. LOL.
Hi Georgia and thank you for your detailed tutorials they are so clear and helpful. Two questions: I have just started to learn from you needle tatting and was wondering do you 1) tie a knot every time you complete a ring or not necessarily ? and 2) do you turn the work when you finish the ring in order to start a chain or do you turn it after completing a set of ring-chain-turn then ring-chain-turn ?
Hi Maie. I have to tell you I am not Georgia. I am just a pair of hands to help with the online classes. My name is Tamie. To answer your questions no you don't tie after the ring or chain unless you are needle tatting. and yes you do reverse the work after every ring or chain unless the pattern states otherwise. so you would make a ring turn make the chain turn and etc. I have done specific channels for the classes that are tons better looking than the ones on this site. These videos will be gone very soon so here are the links to the new ones I have created.

Beginning Tatting Video Series Dear Tamie thank you so much for your prompt and lengthy reply and all the detailed information you attached. Will follow your links and keep you posted, you are a STAR teacher wow !!
Hi Tami, thank you for this explanation. My biggest problem in tatting is twisting thread making rings difficult or impossible to close. I'm using Lzbeth thread and there just isn't any help for it. I keep starting a pattern only to have to cut the beginning rings off and it's lke walking through quick san t finish a piece of tatting. It's so pretty when the thread behaves though. Tiffany
+ablindgibsongirl Hi there Tiffany. That is the nature of the beast with Lizbeth thread. I can't remember if your a shuttle tatter or needle tatter. I will say this to both though if you are a shuttle tatter before closing your ring drop the shuttle and let the twist come out it helps So Much.. Same if you were a needle tatter. Drop the needle and let the twist come out. It will stop spinning on it's own and then the rings will close so much easier. Another thing I have found that helps is before you actually start the pattern of the ring do an extra half stitch then the pattern then at the end of the ring do another half stitch then let the shuttle drop and you will be amazed at the ease of closing the rings. Make sure to keep an even tension on the ring with the thumb and forefinger when closing it, that also helps ease off the twist too. I hope that helps you and it's so nice hearing from you again. I have been doing the videos for the classes Georgia Seitz sponsors. They are really helping the new students. Check them out. They also have a couple tat alongs you may enjoy on the advanced students channel. Here are the links for you.

+Claudia Gerwin Thank you so much for watching. Just remember because you are left handed your work will flow to the left. Everything I do in the videos with my right hand do with your left. Your tatting will improve over time and before you know it you'll be tatting everything from doilies to jewelry and everything in between. Happy Tatting
Metallic threads have a problem of twisting up really badly, so to help as Tami says, drop your needle or shuttle and let it untwist but with the metallic thread you will have to let your work drop to untwist also...lol that is because the thread twists up on both ball and needle sides.
Thank you for adding that. I don't give a thought sometimes to the variety of threads available. As you said the metallic threads are tedious at best to work with. I find a bit of thread heaven used on the metallics does help control the twist is little better as well as the drop the tool of choice and the work so the twist comes out. Happy Tatting
I tat LEFT HANDED>>>>my tatting goes to the left! Please clear that up for us lefties to me everything is backwards when I try to learn. Otherwise it was a good video and I learned something.
***** Hi Barbara, thank you for watching. I will be sure to do that in the future videos. Most directions are written for righties and the lefties are always left out. It is a shame. I try to keep it in the forefront of my mind but sometimes, well more times than often, I forget to tell the lefties everything is mirrored to what the righties do.Happy Tatting and thank you for reminding me to remember the lefties.
Usually when you rotate your work it is to change the direction of the flow of your work and it is typically used when making onion rings in tatting. www.georgiaseitz.com/2002/onion/onion.html, this is a link to show what and onion ring in tatting looks like. Hope that helps answer your question.

Wow. This was an amazing way to explain this. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have struggled with “reverse work”, I am a visual learner so hopefully your video sticks. :)
Like the tip of thread showing front .thanks for it

Where do you buy your shuttles
They are beautiful

Is there a video explanation of what it looks like when shuttle tatting all of these different options?
Is there any resources to show me what it looks like to apply these different manipulations of your work?

Wonderful series. I tat left-handed as well. So much to learn!!!! Thanks.

Sorry for the spelling errors, bad keyboard.
So is reverse and turn the same? Confused.
They sure are not. Watch again. "Reverse" is flip from top to bottom, "turn" is flip from side to side.
