I received this book a few days ago and I'm thrilled with it. I am an intermediate tatter, I would say and some of the patterns will require some 'thinking' on my part but the visual patterns are for the most part easy to understand and attractively presented. What makes me love that book is how beautifully it is printed. Just browsing it is a pleasure.
I've only used cotton threads so far and have no experience with metallic threads and you need to be aware that is what has been used in this book. The author used Turkish metallic threads which can be bought from her web store. The book is gorgeous enough to make me want to order some right away! The beauty lies in the way those threads are combined with beads - which I guess one could buy locally and play with one's own choices.
Browsing through it, I can't help thinking that the patterns are quite repetitive on the whole in this book, but there's enough of choice to play with them.
Great ideas for end of year gifts!
I am not sure though what advanced tatters might think of the patterns which to me don't look overly complicated.
Brava for the presentation and the photographs!

I am a jewellery maker and bought this book to add to my jewellery making skills. There are many lovely patterns in here that I want to have a go at...however I don't know how to tatt!
I was expecting a brief "how to" at the front or back but there isn't one. In some ways that is refreshing. It means the whole book is patterns. It does, however, mean that complete beginners will need to find another source to get going.
I do not regret buying this book despite the fact I cannot use it at the moment. I have been meaning to learn to tatt for years, this book has given me the incentive to do it. I am looking forward to being able to try out some of the patterns soon.

If you can tat buy this book and solve your Christmas present problems. The items are clearly photographed and accompanied by easy-to-understand diagrams and instructions. The resulting jewellery doesn't look 'homemade'.

This book has some lovely patterns, but as a beginner I did struggle a little with it. I think it would be better if there were more detailed photos of the actual jewellery... Read more
