I wanted to try one with Lizbeth, size 40 thread. The butterfly is a few millimeters, smaller. I'm not pleased with this thread for the large rings. The rings are harder to close and tend to buckle. I'm going back to my smooth sewing thread. The rings come out beautifully.
Having a ball with these butterflies. This one was tatted with three strands of Coats and Clark, variegated thread. The challenge was trying to get the strands to line up, somewhat.
I love this new and very addicting pattern. This is Angela's "Butterfly Morfo" pattern. I used 3 strands of embroidery sewing thread to make this beauty.
The doily was tatted with size 5 thread. This thread is not forgiving!! It's been a constant fight to close the rings. Finally, rubbed Thread Heaven on the thread, before I wound my shuttle. The rings close easier with this thread.
