About this title

Synopsis

Here is a distinctive gallery of over 85 beautiful and useful tatted items — mats, bookmarks, edgings, collars, crowns, medallions, and more — all ideal for resting and developing the skills of both intermediate and advanced tatters.
Created and compiled by two well-known crafts and needlework experts, teachers, and editors, these delicate designs include the dainty Annette and charming Margareta — lovely edgings that will add a touch of elegance to fine linens, handkerchiefs, and personal apparel — and exquisite doilies such as Mignonette and Peony, perfect for use as centerpieces, vanity sets, and table settings.
Each project is clearly photographed and detailed instructions specify what thread to use, the size of the design and number of shuttles needed, tatting stitches involved, and proper sequence for each. Also included are a brief history of this great traditional craft and instructions on its principal techniques.
