I think I would have stayed with it had I learnt the chain first. Your method of teaching is brilliant.

I had a fe...Congratulations on your great success! I had a feeling you were using the 2-color chain, as you had mentioned it before in one of your posts.<br /><br />I am so glad to see the two-color chain catching on as the way to teach beginners to tat. I was delighted that Janette Baker showed the two-color chain in her popular book and CD back around 2009, as I assumed it would get wide circulation. And this idea also began showing up on internet videos, which I was also pleased to see. <br /><br />I have been demo-ing the two-color chain since 1991 at our tatting events. I realized one day when doing a chain in two colors that it was easier to 'see' the flip forming with the second color. And it's also easier to practice on a chain over and over, and get comfortable with doing the double stitch, then move on to learning the ring. I often wonder if this method was ever mentioned in any publications in the past. It might have seemed too 'radical'! <br /> <br />I really like your idea of breaking it down by showing the movement of the shuttle first, then doing the movement of the left hand! I admit, however, that teaching a left-hander would be a challenge!
