Finally--a beautifully photographed modern book on tatting! Unlike many older books on the subject, there are no 40's style lace collars or unusable projects but rather a variety of small motifs with clear instructions. The book also includes pictures of many of the patterns joined together to make larger items (tablecloths, centerpieces, etc).This is certainly not a "learn to tat" book but this, combined with a simple instruction booklet (I recommend since it comes with a well-produced DVD), will have you tatting modern-looking pieces in no time!

This is a good tatting book for both beginners and those who have tatted for a numberof years. I have tatted for over 30 years and I found some interesting patterns anda few ideas I needed a review on, so that was great. I have many tatting books, and thiswill probably be in my top 10 due to the wide variety of patterns. I design also, sothis gave me some ideas of jumping off places for my own patterns.

This is a book of many tatting patterns and most can be done with either shuttle or needle tatting. It has the patterns written out on the typical abbreviated form so you can follow and nice closeup photos to boot but it does not provide any kind of additional instructions with the patterns. For example, the photos may show the item in two colors but the instructions don't acknowledge that option so you have to know when and how to change colors. It also does not provide information on whether you need one or two shuttles, or the approximate amount of thread needed, so beginners might have to figure things out (but stretching ourselves only makes us better, right?)It is very nice that on some patterns there is a picture with the number of double stitches indicated which is great for quick reference while tatting.The author provides a nice variety of small and large projects, easy and complex ones as well.

I really like the book. Only three stars because this is the same book I already have. It has a completely different cover. I should have researched it more. I am keeping it but I am giving it to a tatting friend of mine that does not have it. I has really nice patterns in it.

The author shows how to combine basic motifs into some quite lovely larger projects. Along with the written notations and pictures, there are diagrams of projects or at least parts of projects, which can be confusing to readers in the US but appears to the the norm in Britain. The publisher is the Guild of Master Craftsmen, so I'm assuming they consider Ms. Morton to be a master of her craft. I'm looking forward to making some of these projects.

I can't say enough good things about this book. It's chock full of beautiful designs ranging from the simple to the elegant. Anything from a simple pair of earrings to doilies with everything in between. The author even shows new twists on old ideas, such as flowers and designs on greeting cards. If this book doesn't spark the imagination of new and experienced tatters alike, I don't know what will.Hopefully, seeing it on the store bookshelves (I actually saw it in a craft store the other day) will inspire a whole new generation of tatters.

This is the only tatting book available from my county's library system. Whomever I've been playing "request item" tag with at the other branch is probably excited I'm not requesting it anymore. And, after paying $2 in overdue fines, I decided to buy this book. Lots of great ideas!

No fue lo que esperaba, crei que traÃa varios modelos para realizar pero no fue asÃ.Tal vez busque mal.

Nie taka okładka. Mniej stron niż w opisie- faktycznie 106 stron, w opisie 112.

Gut verständliche Anleitungen, in englisch, aber auch Anhand der Musterzeichnungen erkennt man die erforderlichen Schritte

Bel libro con tante idee.Purtroppo la maggior parte dei libri di questo genere sono in inglese, ma con un pò di pratica ho imparato le abbreviazioni utilizzate.Comunque anche le immagini e gli schemi aiutano ovviamente all'utilizzo.Consiglaaiato per le amanti del chiaccherino.
