I learned tatting 50 years ago, mostly from books, it’s so good to see how you do it. Using the gauge and other tricks. Thank you for sharing. I love the medium you tube it ads so much more.
Thank you for sharing this. I love to while away a lazy afternoon, just simply making edgings...something that i can use later on. It's just as relaxing as my knitting and my crochet and my weaving, or spending a few hours at the spinning wheel. I can't wait to try this pattern.
Glad you like it Robert, and nice to hear about all your other needlework interests! Spinning is the one thing I've yet to try... but there's already not enough hours in a day for all the things I like to do! :-)
Your work is amazing. I’ve been Tatting for years but your videos have taught me some fantastic methods I knew nothing about. Hoping this helps my work to be neater and more consistent. Thank you.
My mother held on to her mother’s or great grandmother’s tatting table cloth for years… never knew what happened to it, it was incomplete, and natural color…
self taught. I've watched many many videos. I get frustrated when I try pattern 3-4 times and still they don't come out right. I'm going to continue to watch videos. This time I've decided to watch one persons videos. I like your videos, they've been helping. Thank You
As a brand new beginner (Learning to tat during quarantine after about 30 years of wanting to learn) I LOVE the tip about what to do with the end string. Thank you
thank you so much for making these videos. I learn so much from you, sometimes a tip, this time a full corner. I don't know anyone who tats so I rely on videos to help me learn, you have taught me so much
Hello Minette, I have a video that shows how to attach the edging and you can find it here: th-cam.com/video/RWXScoCwFC8/w-d-xo.html It'll be a lovely gift for your Mum!
Hello Sangita, I make the shuttles I use in my videos and regularly have some for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/lacossette). I am currently away however so there are none for sale at the moment.
Thanks for this great tutorial! Beautiful pattern. I’ve avoided shuttle tatting due to that ratchet sound and work on needles. But I’d like to try shuttle after watching you work. When I craft I don’t like my tools to make noise. I’ll look for a link to the shuttles you mentioned in comment responses below. Also wondered what technique you once used and what you do now that is different. Tatting books with good instructions are very hard to come by. Blessings to you!
Hi Rita, oh yes, please do not be put off by the ratchet sound! If you watch most of my other videos, you will see that the shuttles I usually use are silent. I much prefer that too! But I did think in this instance it could be interesting to "hear" how often I feed thread as I work so I decided to use it. I'll add a link to my shop in the information box. The technique I used to tat before was how I'd learned from books by myself and to be honest, I can't even remember how I did it but it was more complicated and I often dropped my shuttle as I worked. The "slip & slide" method I use now is much more efficient!
Oh thanks so much for the encouragement ! I didn’t see a link to your shop though. I did watch your video on the tiny snowflake, beautiful! And yes, that shuttle is very quiet. I’ll watch more of your videos too. The shuttle looks much faster than the needle tatting. I have a lot to learn. Did you learn the slip and slide from a book or instructor? Thanks for your reply.
Hi Rita, the link is in the information box below the video, you have to click on "show more" to see the rest of the box. I learned this method of tatting after seeing a TH-cam video. When I first learned to tat, all I had were books but this method is so much more efficient. I don't know if you've seen them but I have "beginner videos" to help you get started with a shuttle. And there are many other good videos by other tatters available too.
Ah yes, there it is. Thanks! I subscribed to your channel and will have a look at your other videos for beginners. Thanks for all you’re doing to keep this craft/art alive. I’ll look for some videos that show the slip and slide method too. Seems like a “best practice” method and I appreciate you telling me about it. It will save me time. Some instructors don’t like to give specific methods, especially in the knitting community, but once I found one that did for the method I wanted to learn, I was so much better off and my knitting improved greatly. I guess some are afraid they’ll offend, but I learn better if I get one method down, and then can try others if I want. Blessings to you!
I haven't tried edging yet, because I'm worried that the pattern won't work out to arrive at the proper place when I get to a corner of the material I'm supposed to be edging. Is that often a problem? Do you have to fudge the pattern sometimes so it works out? Thank you for this well-produced and helpful video.
Hi Annie, I'll usually tat a small sample of the lace and measure one repeat and then see how it would fit on the edge of my handkerchief. You may need to space where you attach differently to make a design fit. And yes! I also fudge if needs be! :-)
Hello Sila, I make the modified and decorated shuttles I use in my videos. I was selling them for many years in my Etsy shop but am currently taking a break. Hope to be offering some again sometime this summer.
I attempted many times with this pattern and the one shuttle medallion using size 80 thread, but The ring wouldn’t close all of the way and I would pull and snap the thread. I sat there like 👁👄👁. Like im so confused why the ring isn’t closing. It closes but not enough. Yikes
Hello, yes, size 40 is thinner than size 20: the bigger the number, the finer the thread. I'm afraid I don't know where you are based so cannot recommend anywhere but there are lots of online retailers of tatting threads. I hope you find what you need! :-)
How much thread would this pattern take to complete the whole handkerchief? For sizes 40 and 20 (if possible)? Im not sure if I have enough thread 😅 I'm a beginner, I have been learning through your videos! Thank you so much!
Hello! Thank you for your message, I'm glad my videos are helping you with tatting. I'm so sorry however, I didn't measure the quantity of thread when I was making this edging. If it wasn't attached to a hanky, I could weigh the edging and give you an idea but I'm afraid it's not possible. The only thing I can suggest is for you to tat a sample of it (say a couple of repeats), see how much thread it takes, and then measure how many repeats you need to go around your hanky (or whatever you are edging). I hope this helps a little... :-)
Hi Tina, there are several ways I have used but I quite like using "invisible" stitches with sewing thread where I push my needle through the hem and come out just in line with the picot, do two tiny stitches into the picot and then go back down into the hem to come out in line with the next picot. Perhaps another video idea I should add to my list? :-)
Hi Myriam, with a shuttle you don't need a different size as the stitches are formed on your core thread (unlike with a needle where the stitches are formed on the needle and then slid onto your core thread). Therefore a shuttle works for any size thread. As for the hook, it's a matter of preference: I much prefer a hook attached to my shuttle as I don't need to stop to look for and use a separate hook so it makes for more efficient tatting! :-)
Lindo trabajo , gracias , solo que lo pasan muy rápido y no se alcanza ha ver cuántos nudos lleva y cuántos picos , yo no se hablar inglés ,entonces, no entiendo la explicación, igual está muy hermoso.👋👋👋
Hola Minerva, you can print the pattern using the link below the video and you can also add subtitles in spanish by clicking on the little wheel for settings below the video.
Hello Frivole, can you make this in the join as you go manner, or do you sow it afterwards? I, ve made another pattern from your video,s and it looks very pretty. Maybe you can make more tat as you go or tat a longs. A compliment from Holland for your video,s.
Hi Jan, yes, you could make this and join to the handkerchief as you go. You'd need to think a bit as you get close to the corner so you'd eyeball the space to make sure the corner of your lace falls in line with the corner of your handkerchief. But for a perfect fit, it's easier to tat the edging and attach after. Thank you for your comment! :-)
I look forward to watching your videos. I have a question, I have been tatting for a few years and was wondering how long did it take for you to feel that you were doing well, as in, I have trouble with my work is either too tight and it doesn't lay flat or my work is too loose and doesn't lay flat, so how long did it take you to feel like you were doing well and how much tatting time did you have to put in? I know that blocking will help but I want my work to look good without having to block it because on clothing for instance you don't want something stiff and I have had many tatters tell me to starch my tatting. I did tat a dragon for my son and starched it and then we framed it for his room, that turned out better than I could have ever hoped for but I still don't feel confident in making handkerchief edgings and things like that because my work is inconsistent. And then I get frustrated and put it away for too long. Any advice would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Alexzandra, that's a good question! I'd have to say that I was comfortable with tatting quite quickly. I learned a long time ago from books but I completely re-learned to tat in a better way about 7-8 years ago in a bid to improve my technique and speed. When I changed the way I tat, it did feel awkward at first but it didn't take long for this new method to feel natural and comfortable to me (within a week or two). And I could tat so much quicker than before! But everybody is different so don't be disheartened! Try to slow down and start by making sure all your stitches are even and the same size. It's so easy to pull just a bit tighter or a bit less tightly and then your stitches will be uneven. When you close a ring, examine it next to the others of the same size to make sure they match. But most of all, keep enjoying tatting! :-)
Hello Joelle, love the video, actually, all of your videos! Would you be willing to post a video of how to sew the edging onto the handkerchief? Thanks! Karen
Hi Karen, thank you for your comment, and yes, it's a good suggestion. I have made a video on how to tat and attach an edging directly onto the hanky as you make it but it would be good to show how to attach with sewing. I have to say however that I currently have a lot less time available for video-making so I'll add your suggestion to my list (which is getting longer!) but I'm afraid I can't say when I'll be able to make it. :-)
Hi Sheetal, pattern videos like this assume that you know how to do the basic stitches but I do have other videos for beginners where I make the stitches more slowly (you can find them on my channel). As for the shuttles, I make and sell them myself although I do not have any currently for sale. I hope to be able to start making some again in the near future and they would be found at www.etsy.com/shop/lacossette.
Hi Julie - thank you! - the hanky edging was tatted in size 40 (but I'm working in size 20 for the video). I find that for hankies, I like 40, 60, or even 80 thread as they nicer "drape" and are a better match for the fine fabric of a handkerchief. Of course, if you were using size 80, you would have to adjust the lengths of bare threads accordingly.
I'm afraid I don't know how to make it louder than this. I speak really close to the microphone. Still no good if you turn your computer volume up to the maximum? I'll investigate for future videos.
I really enjoyed your tutorial. But would have liked a few seconds to focus on the finished piece - to do that it needs to not move. perhaps you could think about this for the next tutorial .
Noted! You can also see this piece on my blog where there are photos so you can examine the tatting better: leblogdefrivole.blogspot.com/2018/03/edging-with-corner.html There are also some good close-ups on the pattern which can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1nprEiL3lnm0j1cr64eTTzSE2huP7fHoO/view
Hello, La Cossette shuttles are made with Aeros which are modified (like the Aerlit in this video). Personally, I prefer "silent" shuttles and find the ratchet noise irritating after a while (or when you want to tat on an aeroplane or in a waiting room for example). The first Aerlits also lost their tension fairly quickly though this has been improved with the softer plastic they now use. I find the Aeros (La Cossette) smooth and quiet and they keep their tension and that's why I prefer them.
I used to tat decades ago, and I would use these metal shuttles by Boye because that's all I could find at the time. They had a removable bobbin and a built-in hook on the end, but they really weren't very good. In fact, they were kind of horrible, but I guess I just got used to them. Now that I've taken up tatting again, I decided I needed better shuttles, so I bought a couple of Aerlits, but like you, I find the ratcheting noise really annoying. I just ordered a shuttle from La Cossette last week and can hardly wait for it to arrive. Now that I know they're quiet and they keep their tension, I'll probably order more.
2Baisas how I can order the la cossette shuttle I went in Etsy but they show the patterns and the pieces not the shuttles to buy? Any suggestions how I can get them, I’m in Canada Vancouver BC

Genuine question, how do you attach this to a handkerchief? I'm still a beginner but I want to make this since I wanted to make one for my mom.

Hello 👋very nice pattern and tutorial 🙏your tatting shuttle is very nice. From where we can buy it?
Hello Sangita, I make the shuttles I use in my videos and regularly have some for sale in my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/lacossette). I am currently away however so there are none for sale at the moment.
Can we use thread more than 40 also because I am already having thin thread and also done half lace but i dont know the no i am using
Yes, of course! You can use any size thread you choose, it will just affect the size of the finished lace.
