Well I've finally tried out block tatting and had a go at the Workbasket pattern "Block and Scallop Edging" using updated adjustments to the pattern. It's also the first time I've consistently used a picot gage from Georgia Seitz in the horizontal method since I usually just eyeball my picots. The picots are a little bigger than I like, but that's okay. I was using the second to the smallest picot gage in the set with size 20 DMC thread! The pattern is working up with a curve and I think I'll let it just become a circular motif, it would need some sort of adjustment to actually be a straight edging.Wednesday, November 14, 2007

This is a beautiful design. I have not managed to do block tatting yet. I did try it out once or twice but it didn't turn out as good as yours here.
Looking good Melissa. On the long chain, try using 6 or 7 ds instead of 4. So make it 7 ds. 3 p sep 2 ds, 7 ds, sm p, 6 ds. That should help straighten it out.
Thank You Jeff! You helped me so much with this pattern!

Beautiful work as always Melissa.

This is a beauty technic Melissa!
In Spanish it is called "frivolité"
