Beginning Tatting
Saturday, July 27th, 8 am
Teacher: Sue Welch
This class teaches the basic stitch in tatting – the double stitch. Learning this one stitch opens up the whole world of lace tatting
Tatting is a lace style based on knots. Tatting has the distinction of being the only lace that cannot be reproduced by machine. It is said tatting began with sailors using shuttles to tie knots in ropes to create rigging and fishing nets. Women became intrigued, shrank the shuttle so fine threads could be used, and tatting began. The basic stitch, a double stitch, looks like a “larks head knot”. Tatting has been called “the hardest EASY thing you will ever learn”. Once the basic technique “clicks” and “the flip” is learned, tatting becomes quite easy. This class will teach the double stitch and make a chain of double stitches. The chain will be turned into a clover leaf. If time permits, a ring of stitches will become a flower. All required supplies will be provided.
Beginning Tatting and Beginning Bobbin Lace will be taught by members of Lacemakers Guild of Oklahoma (LMGO). Since 1990 LMGO has promoted lacemaking through monthly meetings, educational projects, demonstrations, and instruction Beginning tatting and bobbin lace classes are held monthly at Get Stitchin’ in Tulsa on the 3rd Saturday.

Treka has loved art her entire life – from drawing and painting to pottery and jewelry making. As an adult, she has continued to explore new art forms. Her first dive into fiber arts was with crochet and knitting. Then, in 2019, she discovered felting and was immediately drawn to the meditative nature of the art form.

She also enjoys giving cast-off items such as remnant fabrics or vintage wooden containers, as well as found objects from nature, new life by upcycling them into her fiber art pieces. Whether needle-felting a three-dimensional sculpture or wet-felting a “wool painting,” she feels there is something magical about making solid structures and fabric from wool fiber.
