I didn't invent this idea. I learned it from smarter tatters!
I like it for tatted earrings and pendants that end with a ring on top. No sewing in ends!I used my smartphone to make this little video. Here's the finished earrings that I was working on:

Beautiful earrings, I will watching your video over the next week
Those are gorgeous!!! :) Fabulous color combination!!!! :)
I doubt there are many smarter or more creative tatters out there. I have tried to understand what others are doing with this before but never figured it out until I just watched your video. Holy cow, it's super easy! Thank you so much for your time and clear explanation!
I used to use the SSSR to finish off earrings but then my daughter had a pair disintegrate. Perhaps I had better revisit the technique. If it's good enough for you, it should be good enough for me!
Thanks, everyone!
@Michelle, I'm happy to hear that the video helped!
@Jane McLellan, I used to use the "magic thread trick" and that did come apart. So far, the SSSR seems to be a secure finish because it can be tatted very tightly.
Thanks so much. Love your designs.
I have this past couple months learned tatting from you on Bluprint. Today I ran across this SSSR and followed the YouTube videos. Fun to do. I don't quite get how it is to be used yet, but So Much to learn!Thanks Marilee!
