Product Description
Book Description
This guide provides explicit, clearly written instructions and illustrations for creating 12 different tatted hearts. Dusenbury has developed two new techniques: "directional tatting," a short-cut tactic involving reverse stitches; and "stacking," a method that gives tatting a three-dimensional look. Also incorporated is a variation on the split ring technique perfected in the 1920s. 111 illustrations.

Tatting Hearts is a Wonderful Book of Patterns,
By Nancy Nell (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tatting Hearts (Paperback)
I have to strongly disagree with "NickName12345's" review about this book. I was inspired to learn to tat 3 years ago after seeing a copy of Teri Dusenbury's "Tatting Hearts" book. I immediately bought the book and within two months had taught myself to tat (including the split ring technique which is used in this book). These heart designs are beautiful and original!! I was so thrilled that in just a short time I was able to give my husband a gorgeous tatted heart for Valentine's Day, which he still carries in his wallet. I give this book and the author's fabulous designs my highest rating. I get much relaxation working challenging patterns and learning new techniques, but again, that all depends on the individual and if one hobby makes one anxious, it may not be the one for them. Sign me, "A happy customer" :O)

Excellent for Valentine's Day, other holidays . . .,
This review is from: Tatting Hearts (Paperback)
the twelve heart designs in this book are all attractive, but they do involve split rings. If you haven't learned how to do split rings yet, then you'll want to master them before picking up this book. Most of the patterns are rather involved, but there are visual diagrams given to help you along the way. My favorite is the Heart Frame, great for framing a photo of a loved one or pet. I would have liked to see a few smaller, simpler patterns along with the complicated ones, but if you're looking for hearts, this is the book to buy.

hmmmm,
This review is from: Tatting Hearts (Paperback)
I'm not too sure about this book. It seemed like a lot of work to make some not very impressive designs. I like to tat to relax, and this book got me anxious. I think this book would be great for someone who wants to learn and/or make use of split rings. I was looking for some nice heart shapes, but I wasn't satisfied with this book.
