This is a community blog for the participants of the Fall 2013 "Tat it and See" hosted by Sherry Pence. This event has concluded. It was a wonderful success with well over 100 participants around the globe. This blog will remain open indefinitely to allow participants to continue to post progress on this pattern. I am considering making this a yearly event so keep checking back!

Cupped or Flat????
I really don't want to interfere too much, but I thought I would step in and answer this question. Should your motif be cupped or flat? The answer is flat. There are two reasons your motif would cup, one is that the picots are not the correct length (they should measure 1/4"), if the picots are too long you will get a 3D effect, the other reason is tension is too tight on the outer chains.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking my chains must be too tight. I will have to start over I think. Thanks for letting us know Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for clarifying! I pulled on the picots along the sides of the hexagon to stretch them, and now it lies much flatter.
