Tatting Resources, etc

 If you came across my blog because you're looking up tatting, here's some online resources

Craft bibliography website (check to see if that author/book is real - AI fakes are a real problem)

Antique Pattern Library - free, old patterns. Can be hard to decipher.

Online Tatting Class Founded by Georgia Seitz, the videos were live streamed

Noo Bear's tatting tutorials (videos)

Jane Eborall's technique tutorial (drawings)

Jane Eborall's patterns (free patterns)

Sparrow Spite's videos 

A Twisted Picot has some videos and they carry supplies

This one starts from loading the shuttle (videos

A selection of other sources to get supplies (A Twisted Picot link above) (no particular order)

Herschner's has perle cotton (and floss, but mostly embroidery, knitting, and other fiber arts, etc; incl. kits)

 Lacis is a lace and textile museum, that also sells supplies and patterns

 Tatting Corner has tatting supplies as well as other crafts

 Handy Hands is another good shop

 You can also check Etsy for hand dyed thread and painted or crafted shuttles. 

Don't forget to check your local fiber shops and resale shops.
