The power of three because this pattern is 3p3. As the pattern is so easy to remember it gives me the opportunity to practice some frontside/backside tatting. This is the trim for my second shirt and I am just over halfway done.I am still using the King Tut thread it takes just a small amount of thread to do the trim and I plan to sew this one down along the collar binding. This trim and the former have used less than one bobbin of thread.
You can see a wide white elastic (I get these around broccoli and asparagus) around the spool of thread. I use it to control how much thread unwinds. I also use these wide elastics or rubber bands to grab the thread when I need extra grip.
That's a good idea using the elastic. We don't have that round our broccoli or asparagus here. I'll have to look out for something similar!
ReplyDeleteI'll put a few in my bag for you. :) You can grab the smallest tail of thread and pull it tight.
