Perfect tatting – part 10.
Hello everyone! This is the tenth lesson in the series Perfect Tatting. You can read previous part here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/perfect-tatting-part-9/
Also my articles will be accompanied by video tutorials. Simultaneously with the article I will add them to my YouTube channel.
Please write in the comments what subtleties you would like to know. Then it will be easier for me to make a lessons plan.
Also you can ask me questions in the comments, I’m ready to help!

Sometimes when making two or more rings in a row, there is a small distance between the rings, especially for beginner tatters.
This kind of trouble happens both when working with shuttles and when working with a needle. I want to show you how you can avoid this kind of mistake with a little tricks.
For tatting shuttle

After you make the first part of the first double stitch, press this knot with your fingernail. Oh, you don’t have to have long beautiful nails and a perfect manicure for this! Of cource, you can use short ones like mine, for example, LOL

Then do the second part of the double stitch and check your perfect result!

In this way you can make two, three or more rings.
For tatting needlee

Make the first ring. You can use method with knot. I told you about it in the previous lesson. This way you won’t have to make fixing knots between the rings. And before making the second and also all subsequent rings, place the needle exactly in the middle of the ring and press the needle to the ring with your fingers.

You will be surprised how easy it is to make the next ring perfectly close to the previous one if you position the needle just like this.

As I promised, a short video demonstrating these little tricks is already on my YouTube channel. Subscribe, comment, like and share my videos on social networks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qE1POw-dIE&list=PLmUVrN61lH3yT7k0vrL0PosljWkYTjM3a&index=10

Привіт, Олена!
Я думаю, що ваші уроки рукоділля були чудовими!! Мені б хотілося, щоб я міг добре бачити, щоб це зробити, але я здебільшого шию та стьобаю, тому мені не потрібно бути таким акуратним 🙂
Благословення вам і вашим близьким залишатися безпечними та здоровими!!
ПЕРЕМОГИ УКРАЇНІ!!
