Certainly in the beginning the results of shuttle tatting and needle tatting are very much the same. That may change with more advanced stitches and techniques, but that would be a long way down the road. The difference is that you put the stitches on the thread differently. I last needletatted 5 years ago, so I'm very rusty on it, but I did like it better than shuttle tatting. If you want a go at it, there is a book out with the unremarkable title of something like How To Needle Tat. I think there's only one. Once you're done with finding out how to do a loop and a bar, you're pretty much set to do any sort of tatting from other books. I could be wrong, but I found it so.
