Perfect tatting – part 7

Perfect tatting – part 7.

Hello everyone! This is seventh lesson in the series Perfect Tatting. You can read previous part here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/perfect-tatting-part-6/

Also my articles will be accompanied by video tutorials. 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.

Today I wrote a very short article and added a short video. But I hope it will be very useful and informative!

So, in the last lesson I promised to tell you how to easily and quickly give rings different shapes. We talked about round, oval and teardrop shapes.

I watched a lot of videos on YouTube and noticed how many tutters (not all, of course) form rings. They simply pull the shuttle or needle, tightening the ring. In the video, I tried to show this method. Although I never use it. Unfortunately, in this case, the ring is asymmetrical and has to be adjusted. Or is it just me “be all fingers and thumbs”? LOL

Speaking of hands. I apologize for the unkempt look of my hands in the last videos and the lack of a manicure. I developed a terrible allergy to shellac nail polish. So I treated my fingers for a month. Today the doctor said that I can try regular polish. But I have to be very careful! Oh, I hope my hands will return to their attractive appearance. Take care of your hands, they are “every tatter’s treasure”!

But let’s get back to our rings! Try to form the desired ring shape and, holding it between your thumb and index finger, tighten the ring. I showed in detail in the video how this can be done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D7wigmj_oM&list=UULF3dn4_9pp7tIKA2k564wLBQ
