100 posts! - WIP and attach tatting to fabric

I can't believe this is the hundredth post! I should say that without all your kind comments I'd have stopped soon! Thank you very much for your priceless support!

The African doily is already at its second last row, you see that I'm still dithering between yellow and pink, but in this moment I like both so probably I'll keep on tatting one another colour.


Dianire, in a previous post, asked how I attach tatting to fabric. Of course it depends on which kind of fabric, on the design, if it's an insertion or an edging. 



You can find a lot on the net, I've "googled": "attach tatting to fabric" and I obtained 55.400 results! There's also a thread on InTatters.
I like suggesting you to read at least these 3 links:

http://www.tatsall.ca/tips.htm#attach1

I prefer two methods, the hidden stitches and the button-hole stitch.


In order to prepare a piece of linen fabric, for example, I take out one strand from the fabric with a pin, about 1cm from the border; then I fold the fabric 2 times and tack it in position, Then I sew the hem with the same thread that I used for tatting or one similar to the fabric - I usually sew a single hem stitch ("orlo a giorno semplice").

    1. Thank you Tally! I don't know, maybe could it be the same as the ladder hem stitch? Have you a link to an image?
