It works for any size thread. You need only measure how much thread 10ds uses and work it out for your pattern from there.<br />http://ladyshuttlemaker.blogspot.com/2008/10/predict-future-save-your-thread-thread.htmlDilawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155806131098155447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-12571069550845800422015-12-12T08:53:08.837-05:002015-12-12T08:53:08.837-05:00Very nice tatting.

My calculations definitely came in handy when I tatted the Frauberger doily a second time, and didn't have to worry about not loading enough to onto the shuttles. I find it super frustrating when I run out of thread in the middle of a round!Robin Perfettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654207262189636771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-4852072338619034612015-12-11T05:58:58.055-05:002015-12-11T05:58:58.055-05:00I Hate measuring thread lengths :-( But I am tryin...I Hate measuring thread lengths :-( But I am trying to make that effort as far as possible.

However, as the shuttle fills, the number of wraps for a yard keeps decreasing. I also found that the number of wraps on a large Clover shuttle is significantly less than that of a small Clover.Robin Perfettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654207262189636771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-45187411539766249862015-12-08T13:05:44.206-05:002015-12-08T13:05:44.206-05:00I bookmarked Aurora's Tatting helper about a m...I bookmarked Aurora's Tatting helper about a month ago, but didn't look at it too thoroughly. I think I'm going to run a bunch of "field tests" first (gathering data on how much thread I'm using). Later on, it would be interesting to do the math and see how well the calculations match up with my experiments.<br /><br />I should probably write down your method, as well as others, so I don't forget when it comes time to compare the math with my notes.Robin Perfettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654207262189636771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-28468704156250642712015-12-08T09:03:51.567-05:002015-12-08T09:03:51.567-05:00Beautiful pieces of tatting, I was told 25 clicks...Beautiful pieces of tatting, I was told 25 clicks of the shuttle equals one yard of thread. <br />Look forward to reading your next post.<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3829519969948110134.post-36577011111154868072015-12-08T07:55:08.406-05:002015-12-08T07:55:08.406-05:00Wunderschöne Arbeiten.
