Tatting - The Single Shuttle Split Ring
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- I was showing a lady how to make these yesterday which reminded me it might be good idea to make a new video since UA-cam has now removed annotations from videos meaning that my old (non-talking) one will have no explanatory text anymore.
I have no idea what it is about watching people crochet, knit, embroider and tat but it is so relaxing. I will never attempt it but it’s fascinating to watch. You’re very talented! :)
Thank you for your comment! But why not have a go? You might find it relaxing to do it yourself too! :-)
PHENOMENAL!! I had no idea you could do split rings with one shuttle! Thank you for this masterclass from a truly masterful teacher! Love watching all the tangled loops slowly disappearing, it was hypnotic! LOL
Glad you liked it! Thank you for your comment Midge! :-)
I first followed your teaching years ago! I started with 1 and continued on past 100. You have such a thorough and peaceful way of teaching. Blessings! Thank you so much.
What a lovely comment, thank you so much! :-)
So nice to see you here, Joelle. Praying your family is well, and you are finding new joy in your studies. Lenten Blessings!
Thank you Julie! Best wishes to you too.
I am about to challenge myself with a dragon pattern that calls for SSSR. I didn't even know that it could be done. I watched several videos on how to do this but I couldn't figure it out. Thank you for showing the details on how this is done. I think I'm ready to practice.
Also, thank you so much for your channel. When I got started on tatting, your channel was the only one I could understand. I really appreciate how you take your time and don't let your hands get in the way of showing details. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Sarah, thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm very glad to hear your are finding my videos helpful and wish you good luck with your dragon! :-)
I know this is an older post, but I just have to say how wonderful your explanations and demonstrations are. I've so much respect for thr work you put Into it
Thank you so much for your kind comment! :-)
Very nice. Thank you. So easy to follow you to.
Thank you Barbara! :-)
Success! I messed up my first attempt, pulled the shuttle thread through and had a closed ring of 7 stitches. I continued from that small ring and had success! Thank you for helping me get beyond the little things so I can make great things with my tatting.
It's a real pleasure Maria! Messages like yours are what keep me making videos! (Sorry I seem to have missed your comment at the time you wrote it so I'm late replying!). :-)
Maravilloso
Gracias! :-)
Thank you for explaining so beautifully
My pleasure 😊
¡¡Genial!!...gracias.
Hey porfinerika! Xk ya no sigues poniendo vids tu tambien? A mi me gustaron mucho espero que algun dia de estos vea que posteaste mas vids!

Thank you for that video. So many times I have wished I could use a single thread when beading between split rings. Now I can.
That's great Margaret, I'm glad you found it helpful. :-)
You're welcome! Thank you. :-)
Brilliant work 🙏🙏🙏😱😱😱😱👌👌👌💓💓💓
Thank you! 😀
Thanks so much, youre a gread theacher !!!
You're welcome and I appreciate your comment. :-)
Köszönöm szépen!!! (Hungária)🙏♥
You're very welcome! :-)
Hello Frivole! I've been tatting with what you've taught me, but I have a question: can you make a split ring with a single shuttle and ball? I can only find single and double shuttle methods.
Hello Purly, it's not impossible but rather difficult to make a split ring with a ball as you would need to use the ball to make the stitches on one half of the split ring.
very cool!😃👍🏼I have been needle tatting since Oct 2019 and now shuttle since last week (teaching myself--with your help!!). how is it that your shuttle threads pulls from the bobbin so easily? i have a Aerlit bobbin shuttle with hook and Starlit post shuttle with sharp point. I am preferring the post but you make the bobbin look very handy.
Hello, I really love bobbin shuttles as I find it so much quicker to unwind thread as I work (as you say). The Aerlit has a ratchet (a line in the plastic that catches in the grooves of the bobbin) and this can be rather stiff to start with. Sometimes they soften, sometimes they end up becoming too loose. I do have some Aerlits myself but my preferred shuttles are Aero shuttles, the newer type. I find them quiet and, for me, I get just the right tension on the bobbin so that I can unwind easily as I work. Good luck with learning shuttle tatting, I hope you enjoy it!
Frivole thank you! great vids😃👍🏼🧶🧶🧶
PS: i realized tonight that i need to use good quality thread and walk the thread to load shuttle. i have been getting a lot of twisting in the row of ds and ugly ds 😜
I am trying some Lizbeth 10🤞🏼
Update: Aero shuttle was not readily available where I usually buy supplies but I found them! 👍🏼
Make sense but I’m still not sure how that would work. I’ll see if I can give it a try.
I'll give it a try as soon as I can and report back!
Hi Teresa, as your question had piqued my interest, I decided to test it and made a video! You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/N7Ge4wqnhw4/v-deo.html
Thank you ,❤️
You're welcome! :-)
Would you be able to use this in the same fashion as a two shuttle split ring, with picots and joins? Having a hard time figuring this out
Hello, yes, you certainly could as you can just as easily make picots to join to afterwards using this method.
Once again a fantastic learning video! Can you help with making chains? Mine always come out lopsided with the stitches not staying in an even row. They look hideous. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Hi Samantha, I think it's just a matter of being really consistent with your stitches, making sure they are the same size as you pull each new knot, comparing it to the previous so that it's the same size and height. And then also being careful when you snug the chain at the end so that it has a nice curve. Would a video help?
Thank you for all you do. You are remarkable. I do have a question. Is it at all possible to do the SSSR in alternating colors? One ring red, the next one black the next one red and so on.
Mmm, that's an interesting questions Teresa and one I hadn't considered. But my guess would be yes (although I'd have to test it). You'd have to start with two shuttles and carry the colour not in use along the core thread of the ring made in the other colour (does that make sense?).
Hi Teresa, I just uploaded a new video that shows how to make alternating colour single shuttle split rings. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/N7Ge4wqnhw4/v-deo.html
I plan on trying this technique tonight, but I have a question. Is one side of your split ring thicker than the other? On one side you are tatting with a single strand of thread, but on the second side you are tatting with both strands of the loop.
Hi Lisa, yes, you are right, one side would be slightly thicker but it's not really noticeable.
@@11Frivole thank you for replying!!
@@sewverypeculiar You're welcome! :-)
Thank you!! I have a question. How come you only have one thread coming out of your first ring, to start with?
Hi Lucia, it's because I hid the end in the first half of the ring. This is nearly always what I do when I start tatting. :-)
Thank you for your videos. I have included many of your techniques in my tatting adventures. Do you know a way to throw a ring from a split ring? I have never seen it demonstrated and don’t even know if it’s possible. Thanks again and be blessed.
Hi Sarah Beth, I had a quick look and I believe you can do with needle tatting but I've not tried it with shuttles. At the moment I can't quite picture how that would work out but I'm always up for a challenge! I'll try to investigate and get back to you if I figure it out.
Hi :),
If I tat FSBS do I need to reverse my half stitches or do anything differently in general?
You can also reverse your joins if you wish (use an up join or a down join depending on which side you are working) but I'm not sure what you mean about reversing half-stitches... on the back side you would always work 2nd half followed by 1st half.
@@11Frivole okay I understand :) . Does reversing the joins makes it look more cohesive?
@@christinaastreha We're really getting into minute detail here... but I suppose yes, if you use the right join, it looks a bit more like a complete stitch so might seem more "cohesive" as you say. I have a video demonstrating both joins, have you seen it? You can view it here:
ua-cam.com/video/gKccdz0CZIs/v-deo.html
I don't like to be prescriptive about anything and feel it's for everyone to try and see what they prefer. I tatted "traditional" tatting for most of my life before starting to use FSBS in certain circumstances, ie. special pieces that will only be viewed from the front for example. I still tat traditional most of the time because then I feel the piece is "reversible", there is not one side that looks better than the other. And I think to most uninitiated, meaning most people who don't tat, they wouldn't notice the difference. But try it and let me know what you think and if you prefer FSBS. 🙂
@@11Frivole Thanks you very much for discussing your opinions with me. I have been practicing for 2 weeks but I need to continue and try on a lot more to form my preferences and style. From where I am, I just might say that FSBS seems a little more fussy, with constantly thinking about reversing moves but the outcome might still worth it we'll see.
Thanks thanks! :)
@@christinaastreha Yes, you are right that it can feel a little more "fussy"... I have to concentrate more when I tat FSBS to remember what side I'm on and whether I'm starting with a second half or a first half! I'll look forward to hearing what's your conclusion on the matter and which method you prefer to use most often.
This an awesome tutorial, thank you. Is it possible to have the audio a little higher.
Hi Sally, thank you for your comment, I'm sorry if the sound is too low for you - I do try my best to speak close to the microphone but I'll pay closer attention on future videos!
@@11Frivole Thank you so much. The care you take to show and instruct leaves no doubt that you do try...
Many thanks Sally! :-)
