Thank you Jane for the reminder of using coil-less safety pins! I remember you finding a use
for them several years ago. And yes, they work well for that task. Thank you!
My challenge last week: find a way to use them with tatting
size 80 thread. It didn’t work well. But…..
Metallic sewing thread works well. I picked up this thread
years ago in a sale bin. Probably at the Lace Museum during one
of their vintage sales. I loaded some of the thread onto a smaller shuttle,
dropped the shuttle through as I was making picots to be used in the joining
later, and voila picots marked plainly and Round 2 tatted gracefully! Sigh!!!!
I decided to tat the second earring before sewing the beads
for the eyes and mouth on ANKARS style. I may even use something for buttons. I’m
getting excited to see these guys dancing on the wires (earring wires that is).
