DO they sit side by side/overlap etc. THat photo shows it perfectly and I do wish it was shown in beginner tutorials/videos as it is really useful, especially never having seen tatting in real life.Lilliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07881419558379225694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-41135238578426364262016-09-18T22:49:39.177+08:002016-09-18T22:49:39.177+08:00Thank you, Jon, for posting this help.

To my dismay, apparently shuttle-work tats tighter, and it is nigh impossible to get a needle through. >sigh<. BUT I am happy to have found both of these suggestions (sewing the ends in... rather like in crochet) and the magic thread. <br KarenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00690307118244346956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-36247013840709724892014-12-18T13:21:58.326+08:002014-12-18T13:21:58.326+08:00I found your blog while browsing for tatting patte...I found your blog while browsing for tatting patterns.

The only finished tatting projects I have ever done were edgings (of course, that means I do have some rather pretty, frivolous slips and knickers!) because I never could figure what to do with the ends, if there was no cloth hem to tuck them into!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-7901986819096330542012-03-03T11:28:29.814+08:002012-03-03T11:28:29.814+08:00Thank you for the suggestion.

Making the loop. It is best to use unwaxed as it glides through much easier. Also you should beable to find unwaxed dental floss all over the world. Dental floss is strong but very fine and can be used over and over again. <br />Thanks for sharing your talent thru your tutorials.

I have been trying the magic loop method to start a new thread instead of finishing a round but am having trouble pulling the threads thru. I am using 1 or 2 lb test fishing line the next time i try it and i can see now that i need to plan my change in a place where i can actually tie a knot. I was hoping the knot would be unnecessary but haveBludragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228795653243954197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-23419572769647012282010-09-19T22:29:12.959+08:002010-09-19T22:29:12.959+08:00The Magic Loop thing makes me crazy!

I would suggest making a knot with the two ends before pulling them in by the magic thread.<br /><br />John, you are welcome.Tat-a-Rendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457269449603084653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190757.post-53261703642880584282010-09-16T19:41:01.017+08:002010-09-16T19:41:01.017+08:00Jon, how very clear.
