Vicky: got it
Laura Covey: Yes, lots!  Mostly size 10
Pam: plenty of thread
Paty: I have "omega" nr. 10
Mimi: PERLE 8 IS GOOD, BUT YOU MIGHT BE HAPPIER WITH SOMETHING A LITTLE LARGER (5 MAYBE?) AT FIRST ANYWAY
happyrock1963: yes
Mimi: SIZE 10 IS PERFECT
SC Lady: have some 5 also
Mimi: ITS BIG ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN SEE THE KNOTS
Flupigirl: I'm all set with materials.
Mimi: EXCELLENT
Cynthia: FOR LEARNING AS IT IS BIG ENOUGH TO SEE AND TAKE OUT THE OOPSES
SC Lady: also some 3
Mimi: ONCE YOU HAVE MORE PRACTICE YOU CAN GO AS TINY AS YOU LIKE
Mimi: 3 MAY BE EVEN BETTER FOR YOUR FIRST FEW PRACTICE PIECES
Mimi: OK, HERE'S A TOUGHIE
Mimi: NEEDLE TATTERS, CAN YOU THREAD YOUR NEEDLE? LOL
SC Lady: Thanks this kind of info I need
debi: LOL
Cynthia: CUTE MIMI
Mimi: I FIND THAT WITH COMMERCIAL TATTING NEEDLES AND THESE BIGGISH THREADS, I NEED A NEEDLE THREADER
Pam: with my needle threader ;-)
Mimi: GREAT!
Mimi: OK SHUTTLE TATTERS, HAVE YOU TRIED WINDING A SHUTTLE YET?
SC Lady: Yea
Bernadette: Yes.
Tammy: yes
happyrock1963: yes
Laura Covey: Yes
Paty: yes, but I am not sure if it is right
Vicky: yes
Cynthia: DID YOU WALK THE THREAD ON?
Mimi: WHY NOT SURE PATY?
Paty: does it have a direction to do it?
Tammy: What is walk on the thread mean?
SC Lady: Just wind it on
Flupigirl: Yes, is there a certain direction that the thread shoud be wound?
Flupigirl: What does it mean to walk the thread on?
Mimi: http://www.ehow.com/how_16377_wind-tatting-shuttle.html IS LINKED IN THE LESSON - INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW-TO
Cynthia: YOU'LL FIND IF YOU JUST WIND IT ON IT TENDS TO GET TWISTY
Mimi: ACTUALLY WINDING A SHUTTLE IS NOT INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS TO SOME FOLKS
Paty: ok, thx
happyrock1963: Should it be wound on tight or loose?
Mimi: TENSION: NOT SO TIGHT THAT YOU STRETCH THE THREAD
Cynthia: YOU CAN LET IT UNTWIST BY LETTING IT HANG OCCASIONALLY
Mimi: ABOUT LIKE THE TENSION WHEN YOU WIND THE BOBBIN OF YOUR SEWING MACHINE
Tammy: awesome, that was the site I found to learn how to do it
Mimi: JUST ENOUGH THAT WHEN YOU PULL, THE THREAD DOESN'T DIG INTO THE CENTER OF THE SHUTTLE AND GET STUCK
jane armstrong: not loose
Mimi: DIRECTION
Mimi: DIRECTION IS PERSONAL PREFERENCE
Mimi: I'VE SEEN BOTH  CLOCKWISE AND COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Mimi: MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE IS (LET M E THINK)
Paty: all right
Mimi: COUNTERCLOCKWISE
Mimi: I WIND IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTLY
Mimi: DIRECITON
Mimi: DIRECTION!!!
Vicky from x.x.x.77 joined the chat 33 minutes ago
Mimi: AND I LEAVE THE TAIL EXITING AT THE 5 OCLOCK POSITION
Mimi: ALSO, DON'T JUST CUT THE TAIL
SC Lady: I see others fingers hit wrong keys
Mimi: DOES THE WINDING OF THE THREAD MAKE SENSE?
happyrock1963: so you don't tie it on the shuttle
Mimi: TYPOES WILL BE RAMPANT FROM ME, SORRY
Mimi: YES, YOU WILL TIE IT TO THE SHUTTLE AT FIRST
Cynthia: YOU CAN BUT THEN IT IS HARD IF YOU RUN OUT OF THREAD TO ADD MORE
Vicky: got lost in the changing of tabs
Mimi: WHY CYNTHIA?
Cynthia: WELCOME BACK WE ALL DO THAT OCCASIONALLY
Cynthia: THE TIE ON CAN BE HARD TO UNTIE IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE
Vicky: oops I already cut the tail
Mimi: ACTUALLY, I LEAVE THE FIRST TAIL ON A NEW SHUTTLE
Mimi: IT'S OK VICKY
jane armstrong: don't worry about oops...
Mimi: FOR LEARNING IT'S FINE - FOR LATER, YOU'LL SEE NOT CUTTING CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE
Cynthia: I HOLD IT AND WIND OVER IT  SEVERAL WRAPS THEN
Mimi: THEN FOR FUTURE THREAD ADDITIONS, I TIE THE ATTACHED TAIL TO THE NEW THREAD, THEN BEGIN TO WIND
Cynthia: WALK THE THREAD ON SO IT DOESN'T GET TWISTY
Mimi: NO MORE DIGGING BETWEEN THE LEAVES TO GET TO THAT KNOT
Cynthia: GOOD IDEA MIMI...I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT
Mimi: THANKS, DIDN'T THINK OF IT MYSELF BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT TALENTED TATTER SHOWED ME
Cynthia: AK MAYBE???
jane armstrong: how is everyone doing?
Tammy from x.x.x.251 joined the chat 29 minutes ago
Mimi: NO, SOMEONE AT A TATTING DAY I'M SURE, PROBALBY IN SPOKANE
Mimi: ANY OTHER QUESITONS ON WINDING A SHUTTLE?
Tammy: oops, tried the save and print and got kicked out
Mimi: THAT'S WHAT THIS SESSION IS FOR, WORKING OUT THE KINKS :)
Cynthia: YOU HAVE TO CKICK RETURN AFTER SAVE
Tammy: :)
Tammy: oh thanks Cynthia
Cynthia: YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ONLINE PART FIRST....BEEN THERE
Mimi: OK THEN, I'LL ASK ANOTHER QUESTION: HAS ANYONE TRIED A DOUBLE STITCH YET?
Paty: yes
Tammy: me
debi: yes
Pam: yes
SC Lady: sort of
Bernadette: Yes.
Laura Covey: no
happyrock1963: no
Vicky: no
Cynthia: IT CAN TAKE AWHILE TO GET THE HANG OF IT SO DON;T DESPAIR
Cynthia: WE'RE HERE TO HELP--E-MAIL TOO
Flupigirl: I have.
jane armstrong: be patient with yourself
Mimi: I'M GLAD TO SEE A FEW HAVE TRIED, AND HOPEFULLY SUCCEEDED TOO
Mimi: WITH THE NEEDLE, IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY EASY
SC Lady: I did 3pm session, and returned to this session better informed
Flupigirl: to leave and say goodnifght to my daughter. Sorry.
Tammy: I think I have the ds down, just need more practice
jane armstrong: Three cheers, Tammy
Mimi: THE NEEDLE MAKES IT EASY TO GET THE KNOT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CORE THREAD (NEEDLE MAKES THE CORE)
Tammy: thanks
Cynthia: PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE IS WHAT IT TAKES
Mimi: CONGRATS TAMMY AND SC LADY
Paty: It took me some time, but finally I succeeded
Mimi: SHUTTLE TATTERS HAVE TO LEARN THE "FLIP"
Cynthia: GOOD
Mimi: OR TRANSFERRENCE
Mimi: OF THE STITCHES
debi: Relax its ea-er you think
Tammy: I heard that the flip is the hard part!!  lol
debi: easier
Mimi: IT'S NOT VERY INTUITIVE THAT
SC Lady: I don't also flip, have to loosen and pull again
Mimi: THE TREAD FROM THE SHUTTLE
Mimi: THAT DOES ALL THE MOVING
Paty: what is "transference of the stitches"?
Mimi: ACTUALLY HAS TO BECOME THE STRAIGHT, CORE, THREAD AT THE END
Paty: ah, that's for needle ones, right?
Cynthia: AKA 'FLIP' THE SHUTTLE THREAD BECOMES THE CORE
Mimi: IF YOU HAVE MADE THE MOVEMENTS CORRECTLY PATY - FOR SHUTTLE -
Mimi: THE SHUTTLE THREAD WILL "POP" STRAIGHT AT THE END
Cynthia: NEEDLE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THE FLIP
Mimi: AND THE THREAD OVER YOUR HAND WILL BE LOOPED AROUND THAT THREAD
Mimi: SO THAT THE SHUTTLE'S THREAD SLIDES IN THE MIDDLE
Mimi: DON'T BE WORRIED
Mimi: I'M TELLING YOU THE RESULT BEFORE EXPLAINING HOW TO GET THERE
Cynthia: YOU CAN CHECK AFTER EACH STITCH IN SHUTTLE
Mimi: BUT I FIND IF STUDENTS KNOW THE TARGET POSITION
Mimi: TO GET THE THREADS INTO
Mimi: THEY HAVE A BETTER TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME MANIPULATING TO GET THERE
Mimi: BUT I READ, PATY, THAT YOU'VE DONE A DS?
Mimi: WAS IT SUCCESSFUL?
Paty: yes, it was
Mimi: OK, THEN IT'S JUST "TRADUCCION"
Paty: after a while, but yes
jane armstrong: congrats, Paty
Mimi: :)
Mimi: CONGRATULATIONS BY THE WAY
Mimi: THIS IS THE TOUGHEST PART TO TEACH BY WORDS
Mimi: SO DIFFICUJLT FOR SOME STUDENTS TO VISUALIZE
Mimi: LUCKILY THERE ARE SOME PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OUT THERE
Mimi: SO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE NOT TRIED YET
Mimi: I ENCOURAGE YOU TO CHECK THE LINKS AT http://www.angelfire.com/planet/newtatters/meet_greet.html
Cynthia: http://personalpages.tds.net/~tatting/index.html   IS A GOOD VIDEO
Cynthia: WELL YOUY HAVE TO FIND IT BUT IT IS THERE BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT HADED SHUTTLE
Tammy: I will be using any and all links, I can find! :)
Mimi: I ALSO LIKE THE VIDEO BY "NOBONES" ON YOUTUBE
Mimi: THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO ACHIEVE DOUBLE STITCHES WITH SHUTTLES
Mimi: IF YOU FIND OTHER TATTERS
Mimi: YOU'LL SEE THEY HOLD THEIR SHUTTLES MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
Mimi: IT'S WHAT'S COMFORTABLE FOR THEM
Mimi: AND THE RESULTS ALL LOOK THE SAME
Cynthia: ALSO SEVERAL WAYS TO HOLD THE LOOP
Mimi: SO THE ONLY WRONG WAY TO TAT IS WHEN YOU CAN'T SLIDE THE CORE THREAD INSIDE THE DOUBLE STITCHES
Cynthia: IF YOU FIND 100 TATTERS YOU'LL FIND 100 DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES...SOME SIMILAR
Paty: interesting!
Tammy: My battery is about ready to die, so see you all next week.

jane armstrong: safe journey, cynthia
Mimi: My thought is that we need to help Jane understand what's going on, and divide up the work so she can help
jane armstrong: yes,
Cynthia: THANKS AND YES
jane armstrong: since this was my first time on, I didn't know what the boundaries were (good social work terms!)
Mimi: And in the good news department, Georgia may have found us some free space for the lessons that has no popups
Cynthia: JANE DO YOU HAVE TIME ON THURS AFTERNOONE?
Mimi: hopefully it's easier to use for editing too
jane armstrong: I have clients on Thursday afternoons (decluttering business)
Mimi: And I have Monday off - I could be around on Monday afternoon after Georgia's class...
Cynthia: CLASS IS AT 3 AND I COULD USE HELP--ANNEB IN NORWAY WAS HELPING TODAY
Mimi: AnneB of the nifty dragon??
Cynthia: POSSIBLY BUT I MAY BE ROAD WEARY....
jane armstrong: I am working on Monday until after 6:00 EST
Cynthia: i THINK SO  SHE WAS CONCENTRATING ON THE BEGINNERS
Mimi: Never mind that then
jane armstrong: sorry...
Mimi: I'll start an email chain this weekend
Mimi: No worries Jane, we're all volunteers and have to work around each otehrs' schedules
Mimi: And Cynthia, if having the afternoon class is too overwhelming, feel free to cancel
Mimi: you've taken on a lot, and it appears neither Jane and I can help you with that one
Cynthia: OK I'LL GET TO IT WHEN I GET BACK UNLESS I GET A CHANCE TO CHECK MY E-MAILS
Mimi: That will work
Mimi: And I just had a thought... 3pm NY Time is actually lunchtime
Mimi: DUH
Mimi: If I can keep a thought in my pea brain, I'l ltry to log in then
jane armstrong: one thing I learned tonight is to have back up materials at my disposal for each segment
Cynthia: NO IT ISN'T OVERWHELMING I JUST FELT A BIT AWED THAT THEY  THOUGHT I COULD HELP
Mimi: I don't think Europeans are used to finding instruction for free
jane armstrong: Do you have other tips
Cynthia: AND ANNE WAS JUMPING IN AND VERY HELPFUL
Mimi: Jane did you get a Chatzy account (free)
jane armstrong: yes
Mimi: I signed up for the free account - that way I don't have to remember the goshawful URL if I'm at a different computer
Cynthia: DEFINATELY HAVING EXTRA MATERIALS IS NICE
Mimi: I can just go to chatzy.com and it finds the classroom for me
jane armstrong: anything else?
Cynthia: i'D LIKE THE INFO IT WOULD HELP
Mimi: I keep a shuttle handy too
jane armstrong: have one
Mimi: sometimes I have trouble visualizing
Cynthia: DON'T WE ALL?
Mimi: (like the time I had to figure out what direction i wind thread!)
Cynthia: ALSO A NEEDLE
Mimi: Do you needle tat at all Jane?
jane armstrong: no needle tat
jane armstrong: sorry....should I learn?
Cynthia: NO UNLESS YOU WANT TO
Mimi: You'll probalby pick it up by osmosis
Mimi: but no it's not necessary
Cynthia: SOME THINGS WORK BETTER WITH NEEDLE
Mimi: Cynthia is trhe most experienced with it
Mimi: I've played with it some - handy for beaded tatting sometimes
Cynthia: BUT THE SHUTTLE IS GOOD TOO
jane armstrong: if two of the teachers respond, should I put my two cents in, too.
Mimi: Always jump in if you have more to add/clarify
Cynthia: i HAD TO MY ARTHRITIS SOMETIMES  IS A CHALLENGE
Cynthia: back to regular letters
Mimi: Sometimes multiple conversations will jump up
Mimi: so having multiple folks helps there too
Cynthia: and a second or thrid set of eyes helps when that happens
jane armstrong: there were a couple of times I wanted to add
Mimi: At some point, we need to alternate leading the lessons while the others help
Mimi: But mostly having 3 teachers means that someone will have electricity at class tiem :)
jane armstrong: but didn't know the proper ettique
jane armstrong: oops, spell check!
Cynthia: sure but let's get thru this session first
Mimi: No problem Jane, I figured you'd need a few lessons time to observe what goes on
Mimi: Typoes totally allowed
Cynthia: we all have typos and usually can read thru thrm
jane armstrong: Great, I can excel with typos!
Mimi: Once you're comfortable with how the classes go, we can figure out leadership, ettiquette, etc
Mimi: your experiences as a teacher and faciliator
Mimi: can really help me I'm sure
Mimi: Eek, oven is beeping, I'd better sign off
Mimi: Time for dinner
Cynthia: go eat and enjoy
