I love the way you teach. There are plenty of videos geared toward brand new tatters, it's nice to have something that's intermediate so I don't have to watch a half hour long video every time I want to quickly learn how to do something new.
Hi, there! Just joined this new world of tatting, after years of crochet and knitting! It's awesome! But got frustrated when i got here and saw the fuzzy video. I guess it's not meant for I pads. I(and other ipad users, i bet) would love to be able to watch this one! I loooove adding beads to everything! Thnx!
Yes, Valarie. Just go to my RustiKate youtube channel and look through my other videos, there are quite a few for beginners. So glad you like this, hope you will give tatting a try! :)
Best tatting videos out there! Thank you Katy. Everyone, I also purchased one of Katy's patterns off Etsy and it is fabulous! Very thorough and easy to follow. What was the pattern you may ask? Katy's fabulous foot thongs! They work up beautifully, even for beginners.
This is my fav thread. It is size 10 DMC Baroque Crochet Cotton, Ecru. It comes in colors too, but I most often use ecru or white. It isn't super easy to find, but you can get it on Amazon, directly from DMC, and at some Michaels craft stores. Check your local sewing/craft/thread store, though, you never know they may have it too. Hope that helps! ;)
This is easy to do, Ann, but hard to explain. It is wildly done in shuttle tatting, but not so much in needle tatting. The workings of it are different in needle tatting, not hard, just different. I will do a video showing this technique for needle tatting.
Oh, yes, I would like to be able to explain in Italian too. I hope that the video, being able to see the steps does help, even though I cannot speak your language. Happy tatting! :)
Sorry that it is fuzzy for you, that is the first time I've heard anyone say that. It is HD and should be very clear. Must be a TH-cam compatibility issue. Bummer! I'm happy that you have started tatting, that is great! :) Maybe they will fix the viewing for Ipad users in the future, so that you will be able to enjoy these videos. I hope so. Happy tatting! :)
It depends on the project. You can go as large as you like and as small as will fit on your thread (if you are using this "method one" of adding beads to tatting). I typically like to only use beads that will fit over my needle, usually 5mm or larger, with a hole larger than 2.75mm. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you Kate, I love your style! Would you think we'll join soon your bracelet project? I really hope so..!!!! You're lovely, greetings from Italy!!!
Hi Katie- Thanks for the video. I was wondering what type of thread you are using here. It looks like crochet #10, but I've only seen them in "balls" not in this form. Where do you get it?
I've seen designs where the beads are in the center of the ring. Is this a split ring technique? The bead appears to have a chain on either side and enclosed in the center. Can you explain how that's done? Thank you.
In your Joining Picots video, the method you use shows a portion of the working thread pulled through the picot and slipped over the needle. In this video, using the beads, you only slip the needle through the picot. Any reason for the difference?
The reason is that if normally attaching picots you would want to catch the loop and pull it through. But when adding a bead you only need to pass the needle through it.
I love your work and am interested in learning how you complete these awesome projects but each time I click on a video I find that you skip parts which makes it hard to learn what you are doing..... You always seem to skip the reverse and chain part which is what I want to see yolu do....
Oh, are they seperated for a reason - Silly me!!! I was wondering if I was missing something :) Thanks, I will and I will let you know!!!! Thanks for the response.
Can you tell me again, what you are asking? I missed responding when your message first came, and now I am not sure what you are asking. Happy tatting and blessings to you and all in Italy!!! :)
It depends a little bit on your brand of needle. But I have added a basic size list in the info below the video. Hope that will help! Sorry for the delayed response, your question ended up being blocked randomly, and I only just now was able to find it.
I would love to learn how to make a barefoot sandel with beading for my sisters for this christmas, Something fancy, can you help me with this ? I try to follow directions from a chart, it's too hard for some reason following you is SO much easier
Can you use my tatted foot thong pattern and add more beads to it? Here is a link to the pattern: Etsy www.etsy.com/listing/127733613/deluxe-tatted-foot-thong-pdf-pattern-by?ref=shop_home_feat_4 or on Craftsy www.craftsy.com/user/1348904/pattern-store?_ct=fqjjuhd-ijehu&_ctp=52230,1348904 Happy tatting!
Actually good tatting books are few and far between. I keep going back to the "Dover Needlework Series" of tatting books, that you can find through Dover Publications or on Amazon (I can't post link to this page). They are not the most glamorous looking books, but they have some of the best patterns and designs. They are republished patterns from the 1899s-1960s, vintage. Hope this helps!
I in these videos I used DMC size 10 thread called Baroque thread. I used to sell it, but it has become very hard to find and my supplier does not carry it anymore.
I have patterns available for sale on Etsy and Craftsy. You can find them here: Etsy (www.etsy.com/shop/RustiKate ) Craftsy (www.craftsy.com/profile/rustikate). Hope you like them! :)
Hi RustiKate, Thank you for responding, I was actually able to create my own pattern with beading. I Really appreciate your help. Maybe you would like to feature it in your sales, with a commision to me, If you send me a personal note, I can send you a picture of it when I get the pictures done, Right now I am working on Getting my neice to pose for me. I also make children sizes, Cause My niece asked me to make one for her granddaughter, It came out soooo cute. Everyone LOVEs my design. I have made two different designs. But so far have not marketed them. I would love to sell them, but haven't the means yet. And don't know if I ever will have the means. It's still up in the air, In the mean time, I am making a ton of them
That's awesome! :) I haven't started selling anyone else's work yet, I have been so busy with life and keeping up with my own work. But if I ever start marketing more, I will let you know. In the mean time a good site for you to look into, they do not charge any fees to list designs or patterns, is "Craftsy" . You can find it easy by googling it. It is a great site and I think it would be a super place for you to start when you are ready. :)
Sorry if I don't slow down enough. It is a fine balance on having it be slow enough to teach, but not too slow for the video to be a length that I can upload. Happy tatting!
I love the way you teach. There are plenty of videos geared toward brand new tatters, it's nice to have something that's intermediate so I don't have to watch a half hour long video every time I want to quickly learn how to do something new.

Thank you! Happy tatting, Ana!!! :)
Size 10 thread, size 5 needle, for most jewelry and foot thongs. If I want it a bit finer I would use a size 20 thread. Hope that helps! :)
Hi Katie- Thanks for the video. I was wondering what type of thread you are using here. It looks like crochet #10, but I've only seen them in "balls" not in this form. Where do you get it?
hi. thanks for the tutorial! what size thread do you normally use for jewellery? thank you

Go to the RustiKate youtube channel, there is a video there that shows you how to "Reverse Work (RW)." Hope that helps! :)
Oh, are they seperated for a reason - Silly me!!! I was wondering if I was missing something :) Thanks, I will and I will let you know!!!! Thanks for the response.

Por favor
Y más lento
Español porra
for someone showing how to tatting you don't do it in slow motion
Sorry if I don't slow down enough. It is a fine balance on having it be slow enough to teach, but not too slow for the video to be a length that I can upload. Happy tatting!
