I was talking with Barbara about Teri Dusenbury. She's a tatter designer that have been around for a long time with wonderful tatting designs with beads and regular tatting, if such thing exist! Her blog can be found at
The Lover's Knot and most of her patterns on Esnips. If ound today a video she made and posted on
Esnips. Check her way of tatting. It's called the Riego way and was how tatting was done at the old times. There's more than one way to tat. It's just a matter of how comfortable the shuttles feel in the hands. Also in the video you'll notice that she's using a netting needle instead of a shuttle. A shuttle is used only to hold the thread that we use to work, nothing else; so you can use almost anything to work as a shuttle.
