I
like to use my own kind of tatting needle, when needle tatting. I
prefer a 5” needle with a slightly pointed tip. I find this the best kind of
needle, because I like to tat directly onto the edge of fabrics, linens, etc.,
instead of the traditional way by creating your tatting first and then had
sewing it on afterword. Not only does it save time and effort, by tatting
directly onto the object that you are wanting to edge (connect tatting to), but
it also makes it easier to figure out the tatting dimensions you need to
complete your project, because you can adjust your tatting to fit as you go. I
simply love this method, and would never want to be without my special needle
again.
I
have had people ask me what needle I use, and if they can get one themselves.
This is it, and I make them myself. It is equivalent to a sized 5 (standard/mid-range)
tatting needle. After having numerous people ask if they can get one, I have
decided to make extra and offer them for sale on the RustiKate Esty Shop. If
you are interested in purchasing one for yourself, please follow the link
below, and I hope you will enjoy using it as much as I do!
Happy Tatting ~
Katy :)
