I just purchased this video and am very pleased with the detail that Mildred goes in to to help even the novice tatter be successful at tatting. I am an experienced tatter and was surprised and pleased to learn a few new things for myself, even though the video was bought for my volunteers to learn to tat trim for burial layettes for sick and needy babies for Newborns in Need. I am looking forward to sharing this video with all 32 chapters nationwide and know that our volunteers will be able to learn quickly, without frustration, from watching this video. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in tatting.

My mother-in-law had tried several times to show me how to tat to no avail. The way Mildred explains it anyone could learn in just a few minutes. Tatted bible markers are my project presently. I have yet to complete one however. There are several different types of shuttles shown on the video but I have only been able to find the metal Boye with removable shuttle and a hook on the point and a red plastic with a point. I was able to check out this video at my library but I am thinking of purchasing 2 copies for my girls who will be ready for tatting long after I am gone.

This video is great . Loads of info and has lots of start to finish . How to tat. How to load a shuttle and all the stitches. She does a great job of showing us how to do everything and does it several times , to make sure that we understand. It goes at a slow pace and that is why I love it. I won't give up my copy as I can use it again and again. Eileene

"Tatting is great fun and one of those things you can take with you wherever you go. You will become very well acquainted with this fascinating lace making technique, as you learn the basic stitch, picots, joinings and how to create chains and rings in the traditional tatting method. You will work an edging in two colors and learn how to apply the edging for a beautiful finished project. You will also learn the vocabulary and see how to successfully read and diagram a pattern."
