Needle Tatting

This section is biased. The biased part was put in by an anonymous IP address. I'm taking it out.Berkeleysappho 05:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Needle tatting is NOT a simulation of shuttle tatting despite opinion. The great Riego needle tatted! Let's ditch the shuttle snobbery and stick to the facts.Berkeleysappho (talk) 10:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now I know where the nonsense about "real" and "simulated" tatting came from! It is from a badly sourced, heavily biased article by the Tatman. (Also where the misinformation about needle tatting being 20th. century came from.) http://www.tribbler.com/tatman/needle-tatting.html Dan, the Tatman, believes Riego only used the netting needle or sewing needle for joining the rings. Clearly, he didn't look at the pictures which accompany her instructions, which show needle tatting without use of a tatting shuttle. Whoever edited this section didn't even cite the article, but used Dan's references. Sloppy, sloppy!Berkeleysappho (talk) 10:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
