"Beginning Tatting" gets a 10-GRRRRR rating from me.I felt cheated by this book. I specifically bought it because another reviewer said the book is very helpful for people who are just learning to tat. The other reviewer also said that the photos in the book were especially helpful.I've been sewing and crocheting for as long as I can remember. I taught myself to knit from books. I am the kind of person who can read a 'how to' book and then do it. That being said, I could not figure out how to even start tatting with this annoying book. The author doesn't even tell you how to wind a shuttle. (Yes, it does make a difference! Shuttles that don't have a bobbin will naturally 'unwind' more thread for you as you tat if you have wound them the right way.)Do not be misled by the lovely cover color photo. The 'photos' inside the book are black and white photocopies. Many of the 'photos' are QUITE blurry - so blurry that it is impossible to figure out what to do by looking at the photos. I've shown the book to friends and they all are horrified when they see the extremely poor quality of the so-called 'photos' in this book.The author also has an unusual writing style. I had to read many sentences over and over to understand what on earth she was attempting to say. Her odd sentence structure is made even worse by the use of incorrect words. For example, she repeatedly uses "taught" when she really means "taut." I don't mean to sound like the 'grammer police,' but when you're trying to learn something from a book, it is very confusing and frustrating when the author uses the wrong words in her explanations.I would have given this book zero stars if that were possible, but opted to give some credit because of the later chapters in the book. Now that I know how to tat (after buying a different book that did indeed teach me quite quickly how to tat), I think some of the info in the later chapters of "Beginning Tatting" (i.e. adding beads to a tatting project) MIGHT be understandable.In short, if you already know how to tat, the info later on in this book MIGHT be helpfu (although, if you already know how to tat, I'm not sure you really need someone to tell you how to add beads to your work). However, if you're trying to learn to tat, forget this book. I cannot imagine that anyone could pick up this book, study the beginning lessons and start tatting."Beginning Tatting: A Lesson Book: Arts and Crafts Collection" cost almost $30 on Amazon and its lessons on how to start tatting were completely worthless. For one-third of the cost of this book, you can buy  Learn to Tat (with DVD)  and with absolutely no frustration you'll be tatting IN MINUTES and making things.So, my advice is save your money, don't buy this book. I found "Learn to Tat" much more helpful than "Beginning Tatting." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great "how-to" tatting book *by G***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2011* I have tried many books that claim to teach tatting, but they all start out assuming the pupil knows something about the craft and how to read patterns. This is the first book I have picked up that does not assume I know anything, which made following along much easier. I also found the use of actual photos rather than drawings easier for me to compare what I was doing to what it was supposed to look like if I was doing everything correctly. This may not be the least expensive book on the subject, but it is well worth the money (and the lower level of frustration) if you are truly looking for instructions for learning tatting on your own. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A "Beginning" book that isn't *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2014* Again the title says Beginning Tatting with approximately 6 pictures that show you nothing but pictures. Nothing about what goes where just hands holding thread and a shuttle. Then there are pictures of patterns written like knitting patterns. I like the way they are written, just would like to know how to do them instead of pictures of hands. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/6693464-beginning-tatting-a-lesson-book-arts-and-crafts-collection](https://www.desertcart.it/products/6693464-beginning-tatting-a-lesson-book-arts-and-crafts-collection) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
