Hi. This is a stupid question, I know. I don't tat....but I am printing off many patterns for someone who does. I can't ask them this question, as what I am doing is going to be their Christmas present and I don't want them to know.
I know there are two different methods to tatting: needle and shuttle. Personally I cannot do either and I do not exactly understand these patterns I am printing. What I would like to know is this: is there a difference in the pattern (the way it is written) for the two different methods? If a pattern was written for needle tatting, could someone who shuttle tats understand it and be able to make the same lace? Is it basically just one pattern, and the tatter decides which method to use...or must they only use one or the other (depending on how it is written)?
I know tatters who both needle and shuttle tat and the PATTERNS are not different, it's the technique that is different. One uses a tatting needle somewhat, but not significantly, differently than a shuttle. I have never gotten the hang of using a shuttle (one of my few fiber/needle arts failures), but I can needle tat. The knots and stitches are still the same, the joins are still the same, it is just a difference in the mechanism you use to build them.
