Summary: It answered my questions
Comment: I learned how to do the basic tatting stitches from a video I checked out from the library, but the library didn't have anything beyond the basics. I found some tatting patterns online and tried to figure things out on my own with no luck. This tatted lace from start to finishing video has been so incredibly helpful to me. It's managed to answer all the questions I've had about tatting. I also like Bev's teaching style. It reminds me of how my great grandmother used to teach me things. Very soft spoken and calm. I find it comforting when I'm trying to figure out something new. :-)

Summary: Very helpful to beginners
Comment: My sister taught be the basic double-stitch and making a picot, but I knew nothing else. This video has VERY CLEAR, up-close video of how to make picots, join picots, make chains, and add in new bobbin thread without tying. Then it goes on to more advanced techniques like split rings, adding beads, etc., but I haven't progressed to that point yet. By the way, if you're a total newbie like me, the book "Easy Tatting" by Linden is also very good, although I wish it had more patterns.

Happy tatting...but beware...it's highly addicting!
