Kathleen Minniti, from the Online Tatting Class shares some discoveries she made and some of the challenges she has experienced in working with DMC's Special Dentelles thread in size 100.

It was a common practice among the early manufacturers of thread, flax, cotton wool or silk to also publish patterns which called for the use of their products.

This butterfly is a collage of tatting which each tatter may create, arrange and sew down in their own designs. It was inspired by a challenge in the Online Tatting Class.

This is a very petite booklet with but 24 pages (including the covers.) There are 10 patterns (counting the samples used for demonstration.) The patterns include small and medium sized motifs good for many uses singly and in multiples. The bracelets and necklace and simple but stylish.
