This is a friendly list but a serious one. It is for tatters who are more interested in tatting and its various aspects than in the personal lives of the group members.

This list is restricted because of a spammer problem. New members must be approved before joining. SPAMMERS WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. SO DON'T BOTHER JOINING IF THAT IS YOUR PLAN. Actual tatters or would-be tatters will be welcomed, of course. Topics that might be covered here:
new techniques or old techniques you might be having a problem with;
history of tatting or the future of tatting;
tatting equipment and supplies;
URL's for informational tatting sites;
teaching tatting;
designing tatting;
copyright issues;
tatting as a business;
tatting reference books.

This is not a list for chatty posts about your health, your family, or your woes. Please do not post jokes, holiday greetings, virus warnings, or comments about the weather.
There will be no exchanges on this list. Please do not post about items you see on eBay unless you have a technical question or comment. The list will be unmoderated. It is not intended in any way, shape or form to compete with other tatting lists, merely to provide a forum for those tatters who are overwhelmed with posts on other topics. There will be no calendar, databases, polls or birthday reminders. There will be a shared files area.
