I really have a need to do it - have never figured out why as sometimes it is almost a chore, but I do it anyway. The rewards in comments are so well worth it! I love hearing from other tatters.

In my opinion The perle cottons are really too soft for shuttle tatting. Looking at the pretty things that Rachel Colvin Jackson makes with the Valdani looks like it works very well for needle tatting. <br /><br />I like the 2 Chinoiseries they are very pretty and I think they look best in the solid colors. The intricate design doesn't get lost in the varigated colorways.<br /><br />congrats on knowing when to quit<br /> Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-88992910291826035102012-09-09T19:55:03.959-04:002012-09-09T19:55:03.959-04:00Thanks for the comments!

This was amusing to read (the graphics are so funny!), but it's wise to just walk away! Would you consider doing the pattern again with Lizbeth Victorian Red or Christmas Red? It was looking so pretty in the red color. You certainly succeeded with the cute motif by Karey Solomon!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-73574269003187150682012-09-09T14:38:29.244-04:002012-09-09T14:38:29.244-04:00Hi Fox
