By the Italians it was formerly called «occhi», whilst +in the East it still bears the name of «makouk», from the +shuttle used in making it.</p> + +<p>In the eighteenth century, when tatting was in great vogue, +much larger shuttles than our present ones were used, because of +the voluminous materials they had to carry, silk cord being one.</p> + +<p><b>Shuttles</b>.—The tatting shuttle consists of two oval blades +of either bone, ivory, mother of pearl or tortoise-shell, pointed +at both ends, and joined together in the middle. A good shuttle +contributes materially to the rapid and perfect execution of the +work and attention should be paid in its selection to the following +particulars: that it be not more than 7 c/m. long and +2 or 3 c/m. wide: that the two ends be close enough to +prevent the thread from protruding; this is more especially +important in tatting with two shuttles and lastly, that the centre +piece that joins the two oval blades together should have a +hole bored in it, large enough for the thread to pass through.</p> + +<p>In filling the shuttle, be careful not to wind on too much +<a name="Page_326" id="Page_326"></a>thread at once, or the blades will gape open at the ends and the +thread get soiled by constant contact with the worker's hands.</p> + +<p><b>Materials</b>.—A strongly twisted thread such as Fil d'Alsace +D.M.C, Fil à dentelle D.M.C, or Cordonnet 6 fils D.M.C, +is best for tatting. We particularly recommend Fil d'Alsace, +as forming the best shaped knots and picots. A soft material +such as Coton à tricoter D.M.C, can also be used where it +suits the purpose better.</p> + +<p><b><a name="First_position_of_the_hands" id="First_position_of_the_hands"></a>First position of the hands</b> (fig. <a href="#fig_486">486</a>).—The construction +of the knots or stitches, appears at first sight to present great +difficulties but will be easily mastered by attention to the +indications here given. One thing, to be constantly borne in +mind is, that when the right hand has passed the shuttle +through the loop, it must stop with a sudden jerk and hold +the thread tightly extended until the left hand has drawn up +the knot. After filling the shuttle, take the end of the thread +between the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, and the +shuttle in the right, pass the thread over the third and fourth +fingers of the left hand, bring it back towards the thumb and +cross the two threads under the fingers, as indicated in fig. <a href="#fig_486">486</a>. Pass the thread that comes from the shuttle round the +little finger of the right hand, and give the shuttle the direction +shown in the engraving.</p><p><a name="Page_327" id="Page_327"></a></p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 500px;"> +<img src="images/500.jpg" alt="FIG. 486.
