TATTED WORDS

It is common impression that tatting, to be attractive, must be done with two threads, and it is true that more elaborate patterns may be made by that method.

The real secret of good tatting is not in the elaborateness of the design, but of careful, pain staking work.

Only the expert should attempt to work rapidly, for it is only by drawing up the stitches with perfect regularity that the
beauty of any design is brought out.
