Video - bead in center of tatted ring
I made this video while working on a design that uses beads in the center of rings. Enough of a challenge in itself, but I wanted to use size 10 Lizbeth thread, and many beads don't want to fit on a thread that thick. So, this shows one way to handle the situation, that worked for me.

Very nice. Thank you for such explanatory video with wonderful music. Karen in OR
Thank you for this lesson. I finally know how to do it! :)
thank you for video :) Very interesting lesson
Well shown!
I've tried several times to make a ring with a bead in center but every time I failed!!
I am Japanese and not good at English so it is very difficult to understand instructions in English. But your videos are very helpful to understand.
I will try this technique and I am sure that I will be able to succeed this time!!
Thank you!!
thx for sharing

Brilliant! Just the technique I've been looking for. Thank you for sharing, Marilee
This is super lesson. Thank you!
Thank you for all your videos, you are great! Ninetta
Fabulous video. I bought your Up and Tat Em book when it came out so I could make the Tatted Atom for my youngest daughter. I've been trying to make it ever since without success. I think I might be able to do it now . . . hope so anyway!
Thanks for the excellent vid. I have needled tatted with beads and struggled with to adding small hole beads. this is an elegant solution.
Thanks for sharing and showing your art. I myself wouldn't dare trying... erm. Very lovely work !
I love your tutorials. Very clear. Is it possible to add a bead to the centre of a needle tatted ring? If it isn't then I shall have to learn to tat with a shuttle.
Yes, Donna, it a bead can be added to a needle tatted ring too. Start tatting the ring (off the ball, the common way of needle tatting a ring). When halfway done with the ring, slide the needle through the stitches, but before closing, slip a bead onto the loop. Then put the needle though the loop, and finish closing. Then continue needle tatting the rest of the ring, and then slide the needle through those stitches and through the small opening at the base of the bead. I don't needle tat very often, so there may be something mixed up in these directions, but hopefully you can figure out the gist of it.
Keep in mind that needle tatting works up larger than shuttle tatting in the same size thread, so if following a pattern designed for shuttle tatting you may need to adjust the stitch count to get the needle tatting and the bead to fit together tightly.
Thank you, thank you! Now I can
begin the rosary.
Thanks a lot for your clear videos
