You will need a Double Bobbin Shuttle for these classes. We are checking to see if we will have them in Vending at Tat Days or you may order one (or more) from the following places ahead of time. If ordering ahead, be sure to place your order before August 1st.

The Needler in Lexington, South Carolina, should be able to order you a double-bobbin shuttle if you call them at 803-359-3858. Then you could pick it up at their store.

Juline’s Edging-Double Bobbin Shuttle Way

Students will get a basic understanding of how to use the Double Bobbin Shuttle while making a simple edging.

Students should be comfortable with basic tatting-rings and chains.

Using a simple edging pattern, students will learn the basics of how to use the Double Bobbin Shuttle and starting rings and chains using different colors without a knot. Students will practice changing ring and chain colors. Finding patterns for the Double Bobbin Shuttle will also be discussed.
Techniques covered will include starting a ring and chain without a knot, tatting over tails, changing ring colors (and chain colors) and encapsulation.

Materials:
Size 20 thread in 3 colors, 2 to 4 yards of each color, that have a high degree of contrast (you need to be able to easily tell them apart)
Double Bobbin Shuttle

Optional: a single bobbin shuttle that uses the same bobbin as the double bobbin shuttle.

Preparation: Wind each of the two bobbins on the Double Bobbin Shuttle with the two colors you want to use for the rings (one color per bobbin). If you have a regular bobbin shuttle that uses the same bobbin as the Double Bobbin Shuttle you can wind it with the chain color thread. If not the chain thread can be used directly from the ball.
