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.
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 :).
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 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!

Welcome back! I also run classes online using Teams if you're interested. All the best for 'take two' 🙂
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. 😊
This is so clear and helpful. Thank you
