I slso cant manage shuttle tatting due to hands and shoulder problems, so
found the Barbara Foster book helped enough to actually achieve a 30 year
ambition to learn tatting. I have made several small motifs and have
promised myself some time to get back to it and work some more at it to see
if I can get it to stay in my brain so I can take tatting out and about to
work on without having to cart the book and start from the beginning each
time. I am nearly done with my christmas lace (except that I have fallen in
love with one of the pieces I have done and want several to hang on my door
lace curtain this year:-) but they are quick to make.
So if I can do it Chris, so can you <grin>.

I had problems with shuttle tatting, so I purchased, Learn Needle Tatting
Step by Step by Barbara Foster. Still available on Amazon. Used should
be fine. Only book I'm aware of for the skill. After that, regular
tatting books, especially charted ones, where no problem to needle tat. I
understand there are very fancy things that can be done with a shuttle,
which might not be doable with a needle for tatting, but there is so much
to do with needle tatting I noticed no problem.

day. I could get used to this.

From: Chris Brill-Packard>>Hello,
I have an new member to the Western Reserve Lace Society who is
interested in learning "Needle Tatting". We do have one member who will be
able to assist her with her skills. I was wondering if any of you have any
good recommendations for DVD or books for reference learning with sources
for
purchase?
I have never researched tatting so I am a little out of my
league.
Thank you all in advance for any and all suggestions.
