Hiding ends

 


For those who dislike hiding ends after tatting a lovely piece of lace. This post just may give you the willies. To start with, I persevered with plunging the canvas of the elephant ear to attach the applique piece.

The next step: tack down the ends of the canvas.



I estimate it will take me weeks as I usually run out of steam after hiding 4 ends. 

I wonder where that comes from? 

Oh yeah….

tatting!

  1. I no longer mind hiding ends in tatting or embroidery, but this image does make me shudder! A nightmare for sure ;-D

  2. I wondered if you could just cut them short ? Stupid question?

    1. Good question. I'll be framing this, but I think I still need to secure the ends so the ear doesn't work its way off the head. Applique is a new to me technique. I'm learning as I go.
