It doesn't work for the TIAS, but usually I count how many rings are going to be tatted by a shuttle and wind about 15 cm or 6 inches for each ring. For size 20 thread. If there are a lot of chains, as in the Masquerade motif I'm working on now, I add a bit extra, but usually that's not necessary. I just thought of that as a post script!

I use the the other kind and wind it up, and then wind thread on the out side of it till it looks full enough and then cut thread from ball and wind the second shuttle. I like your topics and fun to here the problem solving you do :)Madtatter80https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047145271493817811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-36835102893118640352015-01-07T00:05:21.650+05:302015-01-07T00:05:21.650+05:30Good information.
