Mostly I find using loops much quicker than sewing and that's why I like them. I'm also very pleased with the neat finish I get with them. But sewing is great too and works really well… if you don't mind doing it (like me!). :-)Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-68223209367984015722015-08-01T10:47:23.595+01:002015-08-01T10:47:23.595+01:00It certainly was… but today we've gone back to...It certainly was… but today we've gone back to grey skies… :-(<br />I hope the sun is shining where you are.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-852242764010649582015-08-01T10:45:57.864+01:002015-08-01T10:45:57.864+01:00Thank you Bernice, yes, I find I always have to re...Thank you Bernice, yes, I find I always have to re-draw JS for myself but his designs are worth it. I think if you follow the advice for magic loops (not inserting it into the last or first half stitch and keeping the following stitch just a tad looser, they work very well and I think it doesn't take long to get the hang of them… remembering to put them in was what took me longest!!)Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-7412164652995576952015-08-01T10:43:20.851+01:002015-08-01T10:43:20.851+01:00Thank you Michelle!

The advantage of magic loops is that they are very fine and can be folded out of the way to continue with your tatting. It's called beading "wire" but it's more like thread than wire (wire rather implies rigidity). I know Jeanie is sending you some to try. I hope you like them!Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-7315448580524167832015-08-01T10:41:04.786+01:002015-08-01T10:41:04.786+01:00Hi Diane, I know not everyone gets on with them bu...Hi Diane, I know not everyone gets on with them but for me, they work very well. I think they give a neat finish and they save me getting my needle out (I do not enjoy sewing ends in). And it's definitely quicker than sewing too. I'm not one for preaching, people do what suits them, I'm just saying I like using them. :-) Let me know how you get on!Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-69516039768857919632015-07-31T17:49:40.354+01:002015-07-31T17:49:40.354+01:00Envious of how easily you manage the magic loop.

The composition of your photographs is wonderful and the chutney is gorgeous, I swear I can taste it from here. That preserving pan is great.<br />I've used magic loops but mine are dental loops and not as flexible which is why I quit using them. I wonder if I can find those beading wires here.

You see, I'm always inspired by your beautiful tatting, and I can see that your small motifs are so very neat. Mine can sometimes look messy. Maybe I'll practice a little today.
