Shuttle Tatting

Description If you’ve been longing to learn shuttle tatting, or looking for a new craft that’s fun, inexpensive and portable, this is the class for you. Marilee’s warm and expert instruction will guide you through the tricky parts and send you on your way to creating lacy jewelry and tatted embellishments for quilts, paper crafts and more. You’ll learn the basic lark’s head knot and double stitch and how to create lace patterns with chains, rings and picots. Marilee shares pattern-reading skills and discusses where to find vintage patterns. She also helps you avoid or fix common mistakes. As a bonus, you’ll learn a few more techniques: reverses, joins and beadwork, node stitch and floating and split rings.
