But having read what other people are doing I have been wondering if someone
can tell me what the difference is between needle tatting and shuttle tatting.
HI Alison;
With shuttle tatting, the shuttle holds the thread for you while you use
it to make knots directly on the thread, either the same thread (ring)
or a different thread (chain).
With needle tatting, you make the knots on the needle and then pull the
thread through the knots. Needle tatting tends to be slightly looser
because the knots are not tight around the thread like they are in
shuttle tatting.
You should be able to find all sorts of demos of both kinds online.
