My, my, but there are a lot of PO'd comments on here about her tatting method! She does use a differing method for making her stitches to be sure, but there is also English vs. Continental knitting. Her camera is a bit out of focus but her verbal instructions are clear. It would help to see her use a white cloth w/ black thread. There are many amateurs on YouTube who have made instructional videos- so she is free to do the same. I liked seeing a new method.

This is really a new way of tatting ,,very interesting, btw i have the exact same shuttle :) Thankyou for the clear instruction.

I think this is awesome to have - but quite honestly, i don't have the patience !! :(~~

Thank you so much for posting your videos. I tried and tried to get the 'flip' and couldn't get it until I followed your instructions. Your method of forming the knots was much easier than other videos I've seen. Once I got a grasp of forming the knots, I was able to change the way I form the stitches to be more efficient.

Hard to see...

@jdj4u I've taught lots of people, and that is the hardest part of tatting - perhaps the only hard part. There are two more videos by the same person, they may be helpful as well. The key is to hold the tension in the shuttle thread, make sure that is always straight and make sure the stitches can always slide on that thread - hope this helps!

I am beginner and I cannot figure out why I can't make a loop, every time I try to pull the shuttle thread to close the loop, it just knots and won't budge. Very frustrating!

Is there something I'm missing? Please help me. thanks for your help!

I dont understand how to start. can u make a slowmo video and make it a close up?

Thank goodness for people like teceyS3.

It's not the method I would choose to use either but if everyone did everything the same then life would be pretty dull and predictable.

This is ridiculous! She invented an awkward "give 'em the finger" method; can't pronounce the words properly, yet feels she is qualified to "instruct."

Oh, and for martirippe: That particular shuttle is available at any sewing or craft store for about $3. Incidentally; "tension" is provided by the fingers, not from a non-moving piece of equipment!
