Still new to tatting
The title says it - Easy Tatting. I noticed many of the patterns start the same way but seeing how several motifs go together to create something like a collar helps me understand what goes into putting a piece together. I've enjoyed this book.
awful for beginners
I got this book to learn tatting and found it an exercise in frustration. the illustrations are few and, for the most part, unhelpful. the author doesn't go over how to wind a shuttle or explain why the shuttle is shaped the way it is. the part on chaining amounts to "hold the thread like this and do a chain". a friend of mine got a different tatting book with much clearer instructions and i nearly burned this one in frustration. if you want to learn to tat spend a little more money and get a better book.
Easy Tatting (Dover Needlework Series)
This is an excellent book for learning (all over again) how to tat. My sister was quite good at tatting, and we (three) sisters will enjoy learning, practicing, and reviewing the tatting process. The book is very clear and will be helpful in our efforts.
