Tatting Simple Motif

[@jpennturner]

Thank you for this video, my aunt tried to teach me when I was seven years old but results were not good, now 68 years later I see how it should be.

[@Kriztastic]

I just stumbled across this video when watching crochet videos and half way through I ordered myself some shuttles. This is so amazing

[@audreyc2751]

Your closeup demonstration is very clear and the speed is just nice for a beginner. Thank you for sharing, Marilee!

[@amymiller6496]

Thank you for finally showing in minute detail how to hold the thread (both shuttle and spool) in hands. Other videos made me "dizzy" trying to figure out what the threads were doing, and the hands kept "getting in the way." I was completely quiet before and after your first double but when you did it, my eureka moment occurred with joyful noise. Thank you from the bottom of my crafter heart! ❤❤❤

[@dianeanderson1531]

Video was easy to follow without a lot of other commitments. Thank you!

[@Wally943]

For several years (pre Pandemic) I worked for a local yarn/needlepoint/cross stitch shop. At least once a year we would have a customer ask about tatting. I’ll be letting the shop owner know about your channel!

[@craftypat]

I taught myself 35 years ago from a booklet. I haven't done much since those first few years but decided to pick it back up. Your video and instructions are great! Thanks!

[@JS-rb8tm]

I'm there too. We'll maybe like 20 yrs ago I thought myself a bit and trying again now

[@celianeser5337]

THIS IS AMAZING! I got my hands on a shuttle 2 days ago, and now thanks to you and this video, I have a full creation to gift to my gram for Christmas! Thank you so much!

[@meredithwhidden8712]

I inherited my grandmother's crochet hooks and tatting shuttles. I purchased several beginning tatting books, but I couldn't figure it out. Thank you for making the movement so exaggerated and simple. You said that beginners need to practice double stitches to get muscle memory, and I will try again. I am able to follow crochet patterns. Are tatting patterns just as easy to follow ?

[@christinaastreha]

The commentery tips along the way are so helpful for beginners. This way I have the chance to learn tatting in depth through a single pattern. I might have to check your other videos too! Have a nice day, continue doing what you love!

[@christiedawn7663]

I never heard of this before, you put a slight warmth in my dark cold day, thanks. Those are also really nice colors.

[@acceptnone46]

Just got tatting shuttles from my daughter for Christmas, can’t wait to try this now I’ve mastered the double stitch! Thank you.

[@valmaivorster4826]

Hi Marilee, I tried your motif with the 5 rings and 5 chains and it looks beautiful. Then I decided to try and make a motif with 8 rings and 8 chains and it came out beautifully, so then I made another one with 8 rings and I joined the chain picot to the first motifs picot on the chain and again the chain picot to the first motifs chain picot and now I can keep on joining motifs to make a runner for table , or a tray cloth. Thank you so much for teaching us, may you be truly blessed. Valmai

[@sulekhasudhakar9136]

Thank you. The finishing of the ends is what I was looking for and you showed it beautifully. The whole tutorial was nice and slowly shown so it was easy to follow.

[@anasuasarkar7777]

For years I struggled to flip the thread, no videos or tutorials could help me. Finally your video came as a saviour. You mentioned the right pulls and releases and tensions of the strings, and voila all my mistakes got solved and now I can tat motifs in one go.

[@edwardlieberman9154]

Dear Ms. Rockley, Thank you for posting this video. It really inspires interest in tatting, builds confidence in new practitioners to the art, and is detailed, well-paced and beautifully done.

I have alway wanted to shuttle tat. I’ve tatted with a needle using different size threads. Your video is the first one that I’ve ever watched that makes me feel I might be able to do it. The best tutorial ever. Thank you so much. Now, let me go find my shuttle. ☺️

[@sewpreciousart4693]

The stitch that forms the picot becomes the first stitch fot the next pattern - you have solved the confusion in my mind. I always wondered why there were less number of stitches after the picot. Thanks for the information.

I just got a shuttle but there’s a bobbin already in it but how do you get the thread onto it the bobbin doesn’t come out. Or o don’t k is how to get it out I have bonbons ready ti go with the thread already n the bobbin

[@MarileeRockley]

The bobbin should come out just by pushing it out, from the side. Although there are a few styles of bobbin tatting shuttles that are held together by screws, they are usually handmade and uncommon.

I've tried 3 times so far to make the ring, and when I try to close it by pulling the yarn, nothing slides! Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I follow your tutorial step by step. Thanks for posting.

[@MarileeRockley]

The problem is that one or more of the stitches have not “flipped” or transferred, from the shuttle thread to the thread held on your hand. It’s very common for beginners to really not notice what is happening with the transfer of the stitch (loop) from one thread to the other. Do try again! Eventually it will make sense, and then become automatic (like riding a bike).

[@nectariakarakatsani8931]

@@MarileeRockley You are absolutely right! It took me 3 whole hours to figure it last night. Thank you for taking the time to reply and thank you for your videos!

[@emilydeuchars5946]

These look amazing! I’m wanting to get into tatting, what size of thread would you recommend for a complete beginner?

[@MarileeRockley]

A larger thread is easier to see when learning. I'd say a size 10, or a size 5 or 3 (the smaller the number, the thicker the thread). A variegated or multicolor thread is great because it helps to see how the stitches are forming. Even using 2 different solid colors will help to see if the stitches are forming correctly.

[@ΧΡΙΣΤΙΝΑΜΑΒΒΙΔΟΥ]

Beautiful work!!!!!!!

[@Rara-pr9wg]

I've never heard of this before that's awesome❤

[@amoferia]

Am I suppose to use the shuttle thread to make rings and ball thread for the chains? I am doing something wrong. After I connect chain to picot with shuttle, I can't draw up my thread to make my thread on left hand larger...?

[@MarileeRockley]

Yes, the shuttle thread is used to make the rings, the ball thread is for the chains. To answer your question about what you did wrong with your picot join, it sounds like you actually did what is called a "lock join". So, what you probably did was pull a loop of the thread coming from the shuttle through the picot and put the shuttle through that loop. That's a lock join, as you've discovered it locks the thread. So, not the kind of join we want in a ring. To make a picot join when tatting a ring, pull a loop of the thread that's wrapped on your hand through the picot, put the shuttle through that loop, then tighten only enough so that it's like half a double stitch on the core thread of the ring. This kind of join will slide.

[@amoferia]

Verónica el aparatito con el q se trabaja se llama naveta lo aprendí hace algunos años no sé si han cambiado el nombre ...por si te sirve mucho gusto ❤

[@CandiceGoddard]

Is this not macrome? With the exception of the shuttle, this reminds me of something my dad taught my sister how to do, it was like a cross between scoubidou and macrome. I think my grandmother taught me needle tatting but I thought it was some kind of miniature crochet.

[@MarileeRockley]

Yes, the “double stitch” of tatting is really a knot, so definitely related to macramé.
