Adding new thread was just the one I'd like to learn. And you explained perfectly clearly and precisely. Thank you so much for this lesson 🙏🏻you are a great teacher.
I love your videos and appreciate how much I've learned from you. I can really identify with your tatting style. Please keep these delightful videos coming (and the bloopers too!)
Omg i finally got the weaver's knot to work :) i tried learning it out of the mary konior book but it didn't click until i watched your video and gave it a go with some thread off cuts. Thankyou :)
I find your videos very useful. The steady pace helps understand faster. The only problem I have is that the voice is too soft inspite of raising the volume to the highest level.
I'm glad you are enjoying the videos. This was one of my earlier videos - unfortunately I can't change the volume of it once it is uploaded. However, I have increased the volume in more recent videos. 😊
I am really glad I found you. Your videos are so very helpful. Do you have any recommendations for thread to use as yours always looks so solid? Thank you.
Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. For threads, I like DMC Babylo - it's a nice thread with a good texture.... however, my prefered thread - and one I absolutely LOVE is the hand dyed thread from AlenAlea Design. She is Melbourne based, so it is very easy for me to get. I believe international shipping is killing her (shipping costs a LOT more than the thread!) ..... but I will leave a link for you so you can have a look. www.etsy.com/au/shop/AlenAleaDesign
So if you'd put one magic loop into the last few stitches of a chain(except that last half stitch) to attach need thread and continue on, regardless of the following element, wouldn't there be a cohesiveness problem with that last half stitch, as the new thread(and, so, the new element) will start behind it and not right next to it? In case I'm not wrong,if that does happen,how do you deal with it? Other than that, is it easy to hide a magic loop in a ring (regardless of its kind (SCMR, split ring, normal ring,...) ?Could you damage your work by doing so?
No, because the new thread 'travels' across the back of the last half stitch and is sooo small you don't see it. The next element starts right up against the last element so cohesiveness is not a problem. Try it and see! Hiding the magic loop is the easy part. Yes you can damage your work; if your loop is super tight and you try to pull it around the tight curve of your ring, you can distort your stitches. You CAN put magic loops in rings but you need to be careful. The curve of a chain works better as it's not so tight.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Apparently, I'm doing this right. It's so fiddly, I thought there must be a better way to weave in the ends. I've tried sewing them in but once I get a needle with an eye big enough for the thread, it's hard to get the needle into the knots. I'm knew to tatting, and I'm making a doily edging. How tight do I pull my rings and chains? Thanks, again!
What size thread are you using? Even for a size 10, you shouldn't need THAT big a needle. Personally I LOVE the 'magic thread trick' - for me, it is the best way to hide tails. Everybody tats differently and has different 'tension' - I pull mine pretty firmly. Unfortunately I can't give you a 'proper' answer as it's really a matter of trail and error and see what works for you. I would do some practice rings and chains first. After a while you'll get the feel of what works for you - then you won't even think about it! sorry, that's not a great answer, but I hope it helps. 😊
Whether you start with continuous thread or not is irrelevant. Continuous thread just means that you are eliminating one set of tails at the start, and you are working with one colour/one thread. If you started with two colours /two threads you would HAVE to hide tails as this simply can't be one piece of thread. So, continuous thread refers to the way you are starting your work. You won't need to add thread until one of your shuttles runs out. I will leave a link which shows how to add new thread. I hope that helps you. ua-cam.com/video/kbF0Wu9_6tU/v-deo.html
The method you use to start tatting is irrelevant; the CTM is great because it allows you to begin without needing to hide any tails. But whether you used CTM - or had tails to hide, if your shuttle is low then you are way past where you began. I use all of these methods depending on what I'm making. I do prefer to use a knot though, I like to know there is no chance of it coming undone. I hope that helps you.
If the elements are being made before connecting the threads, knots wouldn't be needed. Just weave the thread through the stitch heads, to connect the new section to the old, and it will hold since tatting doesn't get a lot of stress when used.

Thank you! Makes me very happy when people find my videos helpful.😊
Yes, you write well, true. Me too, thank you! 💟

Haha! That is awesome. More videos, and probably more bloopers will be coming in the New Year - might be able to squeeze one in before Xmas.

How do you add new thread when tatting with 2 shuttles using a continuous thread method?
Whether you start with continuous thread or not is irrelevant. Continuous thread just means that you are eliminating one set of tails at the start, and you are working with one colour/one thread. If you started with two colours /two threads you would HAVE to hide tails as this simply can't be one piece of thread.

@@NooBearAus thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Hello, how to join when the yellow thread is finished?
Work to the end of the element, then add your thread as shown in the video
@@NooBearAus thank you
What method would you use when you run out while working the CTM?
The method you use to start tatting is irrelevant; the CTM is great because it allows you to begin without needing to hide any tails. But whether you used CTM - or had tails to hide, if your shuttle is low then you are way past where you began.
I use all of these methods depending on what I'm making. I do prefer to use a knot though, I like to know there is no chance of it coming undone. I hope that helps you.
If the elements are being made before connecting the threads, knots wouldn't be needed. Just weave the thread through the stitch heads, to connect the new section to the old, and it will hold since tatting doesn't get a lot of stress when used.
This depends on what you're tatting is to be used for. Sometimes it's attached to clothing or hankies - always good to have options.
