The step by step teaching method in this book is brilliant! How to shuttle tat the double stitch for beginners is presented in several lessons, making it so much easier to learn one basic skill at a time instead of several complex skills all at once.
Sparrow expertly demonstrates the classic "slip and slide" method of tatting in many photos.
All the basic techniques used in tatting patterns are covered.
How to read patterns, both written and visual is explained clearly. A+ beginners book.
Sparrow's book wastes absolutely no time explaining exactly what you need to know in an order that makes perfect sense for when you need to know it! The spiral binding makes it easy to lie flat while working, and the sturdy, glossy paper makes it easy to tag with washi tape or sticky notes any parts you refer to frequently. Instead of leaving you to scour the internet for resources and try to order the skills necessary for starting, Sparrow does it all for you, and extremely well!
My Mom and I have Sparrow's first book, Knots in Thread; It is the best beginner's guide to shuttle tatting on the planet. Everything she does is created with intention and a powerful sense of purpose. If you want to learn this beautiful, lost art of making lace learn from someone who has a true dedication to and passion for the craft. Sparrow delivers!
