Once learned of course, it becomes automatic. <br />Needle tatting is easy to learn because the thread transfer or "flip" issue is avoided. Needle tatting generally turns out with a softer tension or feel than shuttle tatting, because of the space taken up by the needle while the work is produced.<br /><br />With a pattern composed of small motifs, one could just keep adding motifs until the project was a large as desired. Thread size also makes a big difference. But tatting is more time-consuming than crochet, so it is unusual to see a project as large as a tablecloth made entirely of tatting. Such an item would really be a rare heirloom.Marilee Rockleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11229319055877477637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8073604165170267945.post-50203439713453324372011-04-26T11:01:48.364-05:002011-04-26T11:01:48.364-05:00How hard is it to learn to tat?
