    Jeanette Baker's Learn to Tat book with DVD is excellent. You can order it from Handy Hands or Be-Stitched or buy it at Hobby Lobby.

    LOL!

    It could have been "answers by private message". I was about to say the same, white shuttle tatted.

    What a fun comparison, thanks for posting this, Catriona :)

    Maybe I should make my own video to explain it in my words, it may help folks who struggle with the videos that are available.
    Please do make a video for the rest of us shuttle-challenged tatters.

    Hi Britinpa,

    Well first of all I was struggling to form the loop properly. I only got it after watching this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...=TLJodKVlbeIJ8
    I actually don't form my loops this way now but it helped me figure out how it should look when moving the shuttle in and out.

    Next I got the flip watching this video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=as2gXQ-RYeQ

    I understood the flip but I was struggling to get it to do it all the time until I figured out the best way for me is to hold the shuttle thread tight while dropping the tension in the core thread while transferring the knot.

    I have also watched a few of the tutorial videos found on this blog post (they are more tutorials from the series my first link refers to):

    What resources have you particularly found helpful while learning with the shuttle. Just interested, as I would like to give it a go sometime this year.
