jointly

Chatting with friends and Sue F. of the Online Tatting Designers Class it's always very very inspiring, this time they mentioned the JSS, a join that I hadn't tried yet.

Also, I wanted to tat something with a lovely thread that the generous Colours' Fairy Fox has just sent me, a Lizbeth size 80, number 154, "Wildflower garden".

Actually I have one pattern in the set "granny squares" that I wanted to tat again and it has onion rings, where I could have tried the JSS, so I looked into my fantastic notebook (that I started just because Sue F. had insisted - thank you so much!) and found the drawing/scribble of "quad_25".

The JSS is the Anne Dyer's join, "join to the smooth side", there's a video by Karen Cabrera:
https://youtu.be/rN-wsHQQ6Dc

In former square, the motif tatted last year (green and yellow in pics), I used a normal slope and roll join, that's different from JSS only for the fact that the S&R has a back side, a quibble with size 80 thread and my eyesight! But I like more the JSS join and I think I'll use it again, instead of the S&R.

That is a pattern that needs a revision, too. One motif alone needs some blocking, while the ruffle disappears when 4 are joined together. United we stand, it seems!

I'm a little shy to share my attempts to filèt lace, there's A LOT of flaws. Anyway, that it is one:
It is worked with the help of a wooden frame, then the embroidery is on the stretched net.

Ciao,
Ninetta

    Okay, you just beat me to it ! I took comparative pics of the JSS & S&R joins just this morning , to share !!!!! And same source , with same conclusion ;-P But instead of onion rings, I did it on Round 6 of the Snow Doily which is in progress . Although I do have a couple more observations ....

    Your lacework is lovely . Can't see any flaws as a layperson :-)

      Great, thanks I'm looking forward to read you observations, I'm glad that we both have the same perspective :-)

    Did you make the net for the filet? I remember doing both many years ago. You've inspired me to go back to this lace when I've next got time.

      I'm still learning, my net is misshapen, I've bought it from the ladies who came here. That net needs a lot of exercise, maybe in a year or two...

    I love your tatting and I really liked how you mixed the filet and tatting a couple of posts ago. I could see that you and friends had a net frame all started, did you pick a pattern or make it up? It is beautiful, I want to try it not sure if I could find a frame in town :)

      ...make it up, they have traditional drawings and those could be combined to make always something a bit different.

    Hmmm...this seems similar to the Catherine Wheel Join (CWJ), which I've been using on my onion rings. I wonder if there's any benefit to using the JSS instead of the CWJ. I really need to make a yahoo account so I can join this designer's group!

    By the way, I see NO flaws in your filet lace!

      Ok, thank you for your comment, good point. I quite always work with 2 shuttles, but if I should tat a CW with one shuttle and the ball, my ball thread always tangles up! The JSS is a join made with only the working shuttle. Then the CW add one centered ds over the top of that onion ring, not a problem in this patter. It makes a difference in some patterns, only my opinion.

      Ah, I see. Judging from the video, the JSS also seems to go quicker than the CWJ. I always tat with 2 shuttles so I often forget about the option of using the ball thread. I would think the CWJ would be nearly impossible with shuttle and ball.
