Which is where I would end up needing to go if I were tatting the border of that huge hankie with 100 size thread.conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415924565685485107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-2674470797264881932013-07-07T19:37:12.868-04:002013-07-07T19:37:12.868-04:00I have not tatted in years, however, I found your ...I have not tatted in years, however, I found your site and now inspired to pick up my shuttles again and give it another try.

And the drawing can be what you want it to be. <br />The new Ancora threads will be a delight to whomever wins them. I for 1 have never seen that brand let alone tatted with it.
