I could not wait to start a new hanky edging. This edging pattern is from Sumi Fujishige's Tatting Lace on page 18. This pattern caught my eye. As the pattern is for an oval doily, I had to improvise the corner. The thread is Venus size 40 Col. 107. The rosebud hanky was one of those I bought. I decided to tat onto the hanky to compare this method to sewing it in using the slip stitch. Initially it was a little cumbersome but I think this is may be my preferred method.
Sweet, Wendy! Perfect for this delicate hankie. You are so darned FAST! I do not know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteI find I cannot tat the border on as neatly as I can sew it - and I really dislike sewing, but it works better for me. Great if you are able to do it all in one go!

Beautiful, lovely edging.

Pretty, pretty, pretty! Very sweet hanky indeed. I shd try this method of attaching the edging for my next hanky. Need to go hunt for hankies now...
ReplyDeleteWhat a SWEET edging! I think this is the way my grandmother attached edgings, also :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely hanky, beautiful edging... I'm really feeling the hanky love!
ReplyDeleteThis edging seems slower than the first one. I think it depends on the pattern. But I think tatting it in means when you finish the tatting the hanky edging is done too. Like Fox, I dislike the sewing in. I found out when I was sewing in the first one.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful edging! :)
