And if you can't find a hook, you can always use the needle and thread method (maybe I should do a video on that?).Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-46826153183304246332021-07-16T21:44:19.478+01:002021-07-16T21:44:19.478+01:00I bought the ice queen pattern but I'm having ...I bought the ice queen pattern but I'm having trouble finding a hooked tool that will fit through the center of the bugle beads.

Like you, I kept struggling with this problem and ended up finding complicated ways of placing the tatting so that I could make the last join when it was easy all along! In this pattern, after you attach the last large ring, you still have to make the other two rings on top so you need your shuttles to end up on top after the join. Whereas, the way I was doing this join before, my shuttles always ended up under my work.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-41288306955624912432012-07-19T17:30:05.515+01:002012-07-19T17:30:05.515+01:00Your remark about the direction of the fold for th...Your remark about the direction of the fold for the final join determining which side of the work the thread ends up was not only clear, but a total 'Eureka' moment for me. This is something that has perplexed and frustrated me for years! and has resulted in my becoming proficient at other methods than the folded join, so that I could continue with the thread where I wanted it. Thank you! I must go tat Posy, to fully exercise this new concept before I forget it.<br /><br />The macarons look good enough to eat!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995456961674323818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-72153428051062561142012-07-19T16:56:16.267+01:002012-07-19T16:56:16.267+01:00Lovely thread and pretty earrings, well done on t...Lovely thread and pretty earrings, well done on trying to tat from French,<br /><br />It is such a rare moment to have the sun shinning, makes a change from rain<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-5186307954396748722012-07-19T14:06:52.936+01:002012-07-19T14:06:52.936+01:00I have made 2-layer flowers so far and turned them...I have made 2-layer flowers so far and turned them into earrings too, but I added a bead in the centre of each.<br /><br />How interesting the you also wrote about the other method of joining the last ring of a flower.
