This is a direct link to it: http://plimoth.org/embroidery-blog/forum/ but you can find it as the second link in the right column. Blogs are listed first, then Links. The link to the forum says Embroiderer's Story Forum. This is an excellent place for such a discussion and any others related to items posted here. If you want new forum areas, please let me know. It's a rather boring job moderating it right now! The forum still exists.

I have always heard that tatting didn't develop until well into the 19th century. Many have been the attempts to document earlier instances of tatting, and many have been the failures. A more appropriate place to ask this would have been the Forum, but it seems to have disappeared. Has it been removed? There wasn't a lot of traffic, but it was a good place for this kind of discussion. I second the question from Colleen.

Have you folks got new information about how early tatting was?
