For me...no, but I have done it this way for years. For me it is quite easy and quick. I like shuttles with hooks on them, I can use a pick nearly as fast. I set the thread on top of the work, and hold my thumb nail close to the joining picot to keep the thread from sliding away. Then it is very easy and quick to do the join. But, as I said, I have done it this way for years.

You do have to make sure that the loop does not twist when you let go. I usually try to hold it with my thumb nail. I will see what I can do to make a video this weekend. I did one once before, but wasn't all that happy with the results. I will try again.

The video was great the lighting was perfect, the background an inspiration to anyone learning tatting.<br />After 42 year of tatting I am still learning but I think I will stick with the down way of joining.<br />Thanks for an interesting post<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-88213571251077812412013-05-23T12:06:37.253+01:002013-05-23T12:06:37.253+01:00Hmm, every time I start to feel confident about co...Hmm, every time I start to feel confident about computers, I do something with iMovie and am reassured that I really don't.

But for some reason, when I convert the video, I have to choose a format and there isn't one that works for ALL electronic devices! So I choose large format which seems to work on "most" devices. I'll look into that again.<br /><br />Mmmmm, talking....
