It needed a little tatting. This edging is called Hen and Chicks and is a vintage one shuttle pattern. Had I used a picot gauge the bare thread between rings would have been more consistent and neater. I stitched the tatting on the nametag going through the picots. You can view how to do Hens and Chicks by Frivole on her You tube channel.
I used a Wonderfil thread Spagetti a 12 wt Egyptian cotton which is double gassed making it a great thread for tatting if you like to use small threads.


Wonderful !
