I am starting to get the hang of doing this. I still have not figured out how to get the picot gauges in there yet, but one thing at a time. I did, though, decide to make it a bit more difficult. At Tat Days last year I purchased 4 of their shuttles. I am learning how to use them as I work through the book.
They are fiddly at first, to say the least. I keep having to work that screw to get thread. Like Randy said, though, it's practice. It is getting to be a bit easier each time and I am developing my own technique. Later in the book he talks about the double bobbin shuttles. That should really get interesting!
I have one of there shuttles and it so pretty but my hands can't work them right so I do this thing with shuttles I love but don't use and I retire them 😀 I will be seeing them in couple of months and will watch how they are using them. I am interested in the double bobbin post too👍
ReplyDeleteHmmm... another book for me to purchase? I'm going to watch your progress with great interest!
ReplyDeleteCould be, Diane. Do you have any of his shuttles? I only have the 4 of them. He has several types in wood. Mine are Ebony, Resin (the white one), Rosewood and Apple.
DeleteThat looks pretty neat!! :)
