In my search for Tatting instructions, I think this is the most quality, helpful book I have found. I bought it from Overstock and would recommend it and their speedy delivery. However, this image says there is a tatting needle included, AND there was not. So my having to purchase needles elsewhere lower my value for this company. Images need to include accurate information when advertising. Regards, CLZ

This is a great book to learn from. The instructions and pictures are clear and easy to follow. I tried another book, but didn't grasp the concept of basic stitch. With this book however I was pleasently on my way. I would suggest to get the book that has the needles as part of a kit. I prefer needle tatting over shuttle tatting, perhaps because I've crocheted and knitted for so long.
