<p>Welcome to the Class!
</p>
<p>
First off, our apologies for some of the broken links. A few of our favorite sites have reorganized, and some others are having ISP problems. We're cleaning up as we can.
<p>
Anyone is free to use these pages to learn to tat. If you'd like to join our live lessons (conferences on Chatzy using your browser) sign up for Georgia's Tatting Class announcement-only email list. Details are <a href="http://www.rr1.net/users/aktatter/page7.html">here</a>. Georgia will reply to you with the address of the chat room.
<p>
Also, we have a separate discussion list for beginners to voice their questions about the lessons, or learning tatting in general. Details are here <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newshuttlesandneedles/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newshuttlesandneedles/</a> (click "Join this group.")
<p>
No fees, just tatting fun! This site was written and is maintained by volunteers, just as the class is run by volunteers.
<p>
Class is held on Thursday nights at 9pm (ET). We need to start on time to make sure no West Coasters miss dinner, and East Coasters can go to bed on time :). So please log in a little bit early and enjoy some open chat too.
<p>
Class sets run a few times per year with a break during North American summer with breaks between to allow for extra help by class members before moving up to the regular Monday night classes held by Georgia.

Computer tools for online class: You have them if you are reading this page on line: your favorite Internet browser.
<p>
Because of the restricted class time, and amount of information to be covered, we ask that you please check this site and read/look at the classes during the week prior to class. This will allow for us to move along faster, as well as give you time to think about the class and questions you may have for us.
<p>
<font size="3">PLEASE Bring these Items to EACH Class:</font>
<ul>
<li>Shuttle or Needle
<li>2 Colors of thread (nothing fancy... thicker is better to start)
<li>1 Small crochet hook (shuttles may have this on the tip)
<li>1 pair scissors or other thread cutting tool
<li>1 notebook to hold your printouts/samples
</ul>
<p>
Also, Check out the Completed Homework page! Scans from our students will be posted as we receive them. If you have scans you would like to include please send them to us! Let's show off what we are learning!
<p>
Also, if you notice any broken links or info that needs to be changed in ANY way please email the teachers. We want to make this site easy to navigate for everyone!
<p>
A big THANK YOU to Anita who originally wrote most of the content of these pages in 2006. Katia, Cynthia and Mimi are building on it.
