Honey this is one of the easiest things I've done. I learned form Barbara Foster. Her book Learn Needle Tatting step-by-step is the one I recommend. I'm slow at learning so it took me a few days to "get it". Now I tat. Her site is Handy Hands Tatting.This book gives pictures to help out.
www.needletatting.proboards.com anyway , join up there and you'll get loads of help. PM me if you have questions. I'm not a teacher but I'll help if I can. Also where you need to go is to Barbara Foster site . She will help too. Good luck.
