Disclaimer:
The author is not sponsored by any of the people or organizations mentioned here. I give addresses of needlework shops and online shops, only to help people who would like to learn to tat and do not know where to buy basic equipment. Where I live, it is quite difficult to find information about tatting and tatting materials. These addresses have especially been compiled for people who live in Flanders, Belgium. Of course, people can search the Internet themselves, but it may take them a long time before they find what they are really looking for.

Machine tatting:
On this website, it looks to me as if patterns for tatting  are being converted into machine embroidery. I find it interesting, but I feel no competition!
