The
   Online Tatting Class
      Founded By Georgia Seitz

In the February 1927 issue of Needlecraft Magazine (pgs. 38-40) Anna J. Johnson presented 9 variations of tatting with rickrack or a novelty braid (turtle-back braid.) She wrote: "A most desirable trim for any use is made by combining tatting with braid, choosing a size of braid and thread suited to the purpose to which the lace is to be applied.

Several borders, medallions and insertions are given, all attractive, quickly made and serviceable in many different ways." Athough tatting is as traditional as ever, new combinations are always welcome.

Here the original newspaper clippings and photos are given, some of the patterns rewritten and new models have been prepared by Gina Brummett and Marie Smith (tattingwithmarie@yahoo.com). Many thanks to both of them for making these patterns available to us once gain.
