I learned Reverse Riego from this video just a few weeks ago: I don't think I am ever going to be a Reverse Riego tatter, but I'm trying to learn and become a little more used to it, just in case. One notable instance where I actually prefer the Reverse Riego method is when finger tatting, as there is less fiddling around with the thread to form the stitches, but admittedly I rarely need to finger tat! Still, it's always good to have a different option for when you do need it! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
I first tried to figure out tatting from a Lily Design book, way before the Internet was around. I never was successful. I found diagrams for what I later learned was Reverse Riego method in the mid-'90s, and happily tatted that way for years. I only decided to learn Slip-n-Slide a few years ago. S&S is faster, but I've found beginners can get the "flip" accomplished more easily with RR. Another plus for RR is that if you're playing thread chicken, it takes a little bit less shuttle thread to accomplish those last few stitches! LOL
I'm also a slip'n'slide tatter, but I can see how it would be easier to flip the stitch using Reverse Riego. Handy for new tatters having difficulty mastering the flip.
I also prefer slip-n-slide. Reverse Riego has always been a lot more work and a bit confusing. Thank you for this excellent explanation of this method. 👍👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing this. I really prefer Slip and slide! Honestly, I thought that people tatting reverse Riego didn't know to tat (I didn't even know the name of this tatting method), At least now I won't misjudge people! Thank you so much!
I'm a slip n slider...😂 Boy that confused me right back up. I thought this was a technique i had to do for a certian method or job in tatting. Thank goodness its not. Love your videos thank you for sharing!😊
ty so much for doing this. Now I know what it is, I might give it a try to see if it is any better. Though with the new smaller shuttles I am managing slip and slide finally without any launched shuttles.
@@NooBearAus actually for my old too big shuttles it works. I did modify it a bit. I do the first half of the stitch slip and slide and the second with the reverse riego. I set up my hand slightly differently though and the loop is only around the middle 2 fingers of my left hand. That gives me more room to come up under the bottom thread to make the 2nd half (I shuffle my finders around to manage the flip). For the Big shuttles this works well. For the small shuttles I can slip and slide boths halves without problems now.
Ah ha! I first learned by reading how in a book (before there were RUclipsrs) and I used to get so frustrated with how the extra twists would happen. When I learned slip and slide from your channel I assumed I had just misunderstood. I now feel justified that I was doing it right- I just don’t like that method. Whew! Thanks again.

Absolutely! I'm not a fan of the reverse riego method, but it's another tool in the kit if I ever need it.

Have a look at loading loops - I have them on all of my shuttles.
Wonderful tutorial. Endless possibilities. I am noticing that your working shuttle has no tips to get caught as you play ❤. Brilliant ❤
Thank you - I actually prefer all my shuttles to have tips but I loved the timber so much I bought it regardless. 🙂

I think it's easier to flip the stitch with RR, but I think the constant re positioning of the shuttle just makes everything harder - for me anyway!

I agree! It always looks like something's broken to me. 🤣 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you
Oooh this is kind of mini- macrame ! I must learn!
It kind of is! I teach online classes - message me if you'd like info.🙂

You're welcome.

No, just another way to work your stitches. 🙂
ty so much for doing this. Now I know what it is, I might give it a try to see if it is any better. Though with the new smaller shuttles I am managing slip and slide finally without any launched shuttles.
You're very welcome - I'd be interested to know if you find it a better method...and whether the shuttles still launch!🤣

Hehe - glad I could help!😆
Thank you. I was just wondering if this is similar to Turkish occhi tatting or how reverse reigo differs from the Turkish tatting?
hmmm. I'm not sure as I haven't ever done Turkish Occhi tatting - I may have to do some research!
Hello, could you tell me where I can find the material you used please. Thank you
Do you mean the shuttles and thread? I sell both in my etsy store.

Reverse Riego method looks awkward to me. I use slip and slide method.
Slip n slide is my preferred method too
