Comment: Thanks for participating in this swap. It sounded simple but actually turned out to be rather hard for all that joined it. As far as your tatting goes your doing great. I still don't shuttle tat. I keep saying I am going to learn it but haven't yet. I have the same book and dvd you do. I've been told it is possible to learn to tat from it. As far as I know its the only book and dvd course out there to get. I learned to needle tat from the Hand Hands How to Needle Tat book. They also have a Needle Tatting DVD. I got it later and found it had lots more than just the book has in it. I highly recommend learning to needle tat first. There are things like split rings that are actually easier to needle tat than shuttle tat. Its a slower process but it its a lot easier to learn Needle tatting. I think some of your trouble was the thread as well. Size 10 slides a lot easier and looks better tatted as well. I was able to talk to shuttle tatters when I was learning to needle tat however none had the time to teach me the shuttle. One in particular did spend time talking to me about thread and general tatting stuff. She advised using the #10 to learn on as it slides better and you can still see the stitches and parts of the stitch. The Lizbeth thread from HandyHands.com is the best tatting thread available at this time. They also carry all the standard threads but the Lizbeth is the best and well worth the money. It doesn't tangle as easily as some others and is very strong. I can pick out mistakes without destroying the thread most of the time. Please don't give up. If you would like to do a one to one swap with me just ask and I will set it up. Happy Tatting, Tess
