A complete set of six tatting needles for use in a variety of needle tatting projects.

Match the thickness of the thread you choose to the tatting needle from your set.

Erythrinas - commonly known as coral trees - are indigenous to South Africa. The flowers are a vibrant orange, the leaves a deep green and the dark brown, knobbly seed pods contain bright red seeds called lucky beans. Vyv has painted the Erythrina in a botanical style and because of the beautiful colouring it has been printed in colour on the cloth for you to embelish with free style embroidery stitches to add texture and your own creativity.

Attached to the tray cloth is a photograph of the completed embroidery showing the stitches Vyv used.

A list of the DMC article 117 Stranded Cotton colours used is also provided as a guideline.

Thread and Needles are NOT included.

The advantage of this frame is that it can be rested on a table or a lap. The tray is useful to accommodate scissors, exra needles and thread needed while working. The grip holds any size embrodery hoop leaving both hands free.

A tip for cross stitch worked with a stabbing stitch: work with your strongest hand underneath the work and pass the needle through the work to your weaker hand positioned above the work. The weaker hand makes the stitch passing the needle back through the work to the sronger hand. Repeat. This means there are no unnecessary movements from hand to hand around the frame that slows you down!
