Exquisite photos and fifty patterns for everything from motifs to doilies, yokes, edgings, and three-dimensional flowers and butterflies...a joy to look through.”—Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Looks nice, but not worth the price,
By "preemies81" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)
If you want a book filled with colorful pictures of tatting, you'll find them here. But, if you want patterns to tat all those pretty projects be ready for a surprise, because you won't find most of them. The first half of the book is filled with pictures of tatted projects, but no patterns to accompany them. The "New Twist" must be the use of obscure threads for most of the patterns given. Not only are these threads *not* readily available to tatters, there is no reference for conversion to the cotton or silk threads tatters usually use. Most of the patterns included are not especially unique, not enough to justify the relatively high cost of the book. Save your money, don't buy this one.

fabulous fanfare and little else,
This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)
I agree with most of the other reviews. The pictures are very nice-full color and glossy, but few patterns are given and the ones that are given are simple and repetitive. It's good if you want to see what tatting looks like, bad if you want to get a efficiently done book of patterns.

Lots of potential but no patterns,
This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)
I was so excited when my mom gave me this book for my birthday, but my excitement quickly gave way to disappointment when I realized that no patterns were given for the lovely items pictured in the first half of the book. The designs that do have patterns aren't all that different from those you could find in less expensive books. I'm also a bit intimidated by her use of unfamiliar threads as I don't know what size they are in order to make a substitution. I think the title "More than 100 Glorious Designs" is a misnomer since there are only about fifty actual patterns given. The one pattern I did attempt had such horribly written instructions that even with looking at the photo I had to give up.
