Better than Ugh

Handkerchief, take two!

Thanks so much for all your lovely tips and encouragement. 


Almost perfect. 

I used the suggestions to pin down the handkerchief and stretch the lace to make it work:

I'm nice the handkerchief and lace were stable, I sewed with clear (plastic) thread:


Finally done. Phew!

Hooray. Never again. (At least, never again when I can't tat directly onto the handkerchief!!)

    I love your tatting and choice of patterns is always wonderful. I was taught in school to tat directly into the hankie, also I wonder if the plastic thread can be pressed at home?
    It can at the dry cleaners ( know for sure). If hankie gets a stain the hankie can be cut away from tatting. Many people attach it afterwards, I just like directly tatting onto hankie.

      I wonder about the plastic thread as well... maybe I'll just tat directly to the next one... ANYTHING to make the process less Awful! :)
