Thank you so much. You’re right, after practicing (and creating a small pile of mini-rings) my 83 YO finger memory ‘got it’ and I’m very happy with the new skill.
Hi 😊 I’ve comeback to this series after failing the first time round lol,great to see your pretty face as well as your hands! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, I for one really appreciate it and I’m now ready to try this again 🤪😂😂
Thank you, this are great tutorials. I just unpacked my tatting from when I was taught back in 1984. I think I didn’t finish my project because I didn’t know how to join on thread. Now I’m going to finish it, but I think I’ll have to pause the videos a few times :).
Thank you for the hand movements. I have watched the way you and other tatters hold the shuttle but couldn't quite mimic. Armed with knowing it's the same way as I hold a pencil, I am ready to try it out. Just curious, I had viewed and used the Magic Thread trick first. I really like that technique. Which way do you prefer?
That's great! How did you go? Did the pencil grip help you? I use both tatting over tails and magic thread. When you start a piece it's easier to tat over your tail, - because your tail is already there. When you're coming to the end of your work, the tail doesn't exist yet - so magic loops are good as they can be put in place for when you DO have the tail.
The pencil trick is definitely helping. My wrist isn't getting sore and I can tat longer into th evening. Somehow I am also managing to turn my work to have the core thread come straight off the tip of my finger now too instead of a 90. That alone is making picots so much easier to do. Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you! So glad you're enjoying the videos. I use both methods to hide my tails. I tat over tails at the start - because the tails are there, so IO don't see the point of putting magic loops in just to pull the tail through... but I use magic loops at the end because I don't have the tails yet. I hope that makes sense!
This video is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to break it down so clearly.
You're very welcome! I'm glad it helped you

Thank you for this! I love how I wish you'd do something, and then I find the video. 🤩
Haha - our 'tatter telepathy' must be in sync! I'm glad you found what you were looking for. 😊
Wow! This video is so wonderful!! Thank you so much for explaining the individual movements and the directions was should go. You make it so easy.
Thank you so much!! I think I said 'follow the core' one too many times 🤣
This is so clear and helpful. Thank you
