I TAT EVERYTHING THE FIRST TIME WITH A VERY BIG NEEDLE AND BIG THREAD... THAT WAY I CAN SEE REALLY GOOD WHAT I AM DOING AND THEN I MOVE TO SMALLER AND SMALLER NEEDLES AND THREAD TO MAKE SURE THAT I AM UNDERSTANDING WHAT I AM LEARNING... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU TEACH US... BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED FRANKI

I followed your instructions and completed my very first full project! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I do have some errors in it...I have a hard time when reversing work as to what side I'm actually supposed to be on, but I'm going to rewatch this and do it again!!

Ring: 2 + p (x5) Chain: 3 + 5p + 3 All 6 times Ring (join 2 and 3 of first ring)

This is my first ever tatting project! I'm using crochet thread though, so I can really see what's going on. I had to start over *so many* times lol, it's been a real struggle over the last couple of days, but I finally finished the first part! It is *extremely* wonky, the chains especially are all uneven and different lengths (a tension issue, the long ones are much looser than the short ones), and I'd already finished the last ring before I came back to the video so I'm missing that last join... but it's my very first one, I figure it can be a bit wonky 😂

Some youtubers are using -with the tatting thread, a fishing line or beading thread to give it the stiff stability it needs.

would love to see this snow flake dibe as the center of a doily, Think it would make a great winter doily.

Maria. You are AWESOME. Thank you for all you share and teach me 😊

I really really love your creations . For a newbie like me , you are the Goddess of Needle Tatting .Really Maria you are all over KZfaq and the Instagram with your talent and teaching skill .I request you to add more how- to -do videos for more patterns of needle tatting. Great work.

I have wanted to do a snowflake since that was what first made me fall in love with tatting. Thank you so much, I will be eagerly awaiting the second part. BTW love your channel and I hope to see it continue to grow!

Your demo would have been a lot better if you used a Would’ve been a lot better if you use the largest thread and put up your size your stitches and stuff I’m very

Hi Maria, I love your videos. Would it be possible for you to make a cross that can be framed?

Beautiful !!!What size thread did you use?

wonderful thankyou, just started tatting wonder if you had this as a pattern to follow please with great regard wendy

Maria, I am just a beginner Tatter. I am wanting your advice on what size tatting needle I can use with a Metallic Crochet Thread size 10 and avoid the metallic thread from fraying away from the cotton thread its intertwined with. I'm hoping to do your snowflake with the metallic thread.

Ho Maria. When the work is large like a doily, do you need to leave a big loop at the beginning? how long and how do you judge how much you need? Also this means every time you have to pass that long loop into the work? thank you in advance

Maria, do you have a PDF pattern of this beautiful Snowflake that I can buy?

Could you be having problems cause it's sewing thread not tatting thread?

Is there a written pattern or chart for this?
