Designing Tips
- If you make a mistake
early in the tatting of a design, look carefully at it to see if you
can make it part of the design by repeating it instead of taking it
apart or starting over. (Tip courtesy of Eliz.)
- Turn an old edging
design or motif design into a bookmark. You may create an end design
or an outer round to frame the piece. (Tip courtesy of
Eliz.)
- A doily seems like
a big design project until you break it down. It is a center with "so
many" rows of edging round it. Do each element one at a time. Tat a
center and put it aside. Come back to it fresh to decide on an edging
to go round it. Continue to put it aside after each round so that you
can come back to it fresh to decide what to do next. Try to pick up
some element of the center or an early round in one or more of the outer
rounds to pull the design together. (Tip courtesy of
Eliz.)
