I'm tatting the last side of my tablecloth edging, hooray. The pattern is Fandango Edging from Jane Eborall. There are 37 repeats on each side, but I started with three on this side, so I have 34 more to do. I will do 33, then sew the edging on before doing the last repeat, to be sure I don't twist it. I'm thinking now that I may have to block the tablecloth before sewing on the edging. I'll have to do some research, I know nothing about blocking embroidery.
I anxious to see the finish piece.
ReplyDeleteTatting a tablecloth edging is very ambitious! I can hardly wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteMan oh man! You are my newest hero! I cannot imagine tatting round a tablecloth! A hankie just about does me in.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the grand reveal!

Well, Fox and everyone else, it is a small tablecloth and I'm using size 20 thread, so it's probably the equivalent of doing a hanky edging in a finer thread. It has taken a while and it's only thanks to Sharon sending me some thread that I will be able to finish it.
DeleteCan't wait to see the finished tablecloth! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a Superlady in handicrafts ( needlework or something like that:) )!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWoW. Just WOW! A table cloth edging? Do your hands never tire? (*grins*)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see. I hope the blocking (or whatever needs to be done) goes well.
