CWJ for EP tuts

Pin It now!

 You might remember that I have been mentioning a resource document (EP Tutorials) from the perspective of Endrucks' original patterns and derivatives. Ninetta and I decided to restrict the technique tutorial links to our respective blogs, and the Endrucks 1920 Project, without any outside source. To that end we even created some new pictorials and/or videos - some of which are still underway. 

The Catherine wheel join (CWJ), however, is something both of us had in our folders for the last several years but hadn't shared it online. My pictorial is from 2020 which I did for my Lock Join Plus series aka Reposition Methods, while Ninetta's diagrams were also drawn many years back. Bringing the two together, we present this PDF. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UmmjBqNwwQYIb9Ms9_-T5K6dPnZENCwl/view

A few selected pics from the pictorial -






In the same 2020 folder I have the pics for working the CWJ backside, but have not presented them here. Perhaps at a future date I will work on that presentation and include it.

And Ninetta Caruso's diagram page -

And in case you want a practice pattern, here's a quick one - E28 Heart by Muskaan - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-rWqmDAd51VwxOqtt9spD-FIX5zYDAUE/view

There are already plenty of tutorials, including video demonstrations on this join, links to which you can find by clicking on the Tatting Resources tab above. I am of the opinion that there is no such thing as too many resources. Each of us learns in their own way and one never knows which tutorial will click for an individual. So, hope some of you find this helpful.
Happy tatting!
