Our Wally World carries no tatting supplies. This area is, however, wonderful for beads (although way too expensive ~ cheaper to order on line) because there are a durth of folks who think they know how to make necklaces and ear rings. When I get to Las Cruces (not often) my choices are Hobby Lobby; and, for the art of tatting the pickings are slim! Although for other crafts it is a great place. Jo Ann's is probably the worst Jo Ann's I've ever wheeled into ~ it definitely isn't wheelchair friendly; but, they haven't much in the way of supplies.<br>All of my shopping for Colcha Embroidery and Tatting are from on line vendors who Tat, make shuttles, and are involved in the art. I get my beads from FMG and Artbeads.com; my threads and beads from Be-stitched.com; and, Ds9designs.com and Handy Hands. When the dollor is strong I also have vendors in England that I really like. As the saying goes, "Where there is a will, there's a way"<br>In my case going to stores is a challenge, but it doesn't mean I don't like to get out and about.<br>Wally World seem to be carrying less and less in the way of supplies nationwide. I've spoken to the mgr of our WW and there is nothing they can do about the cutting back. I commiserate with your shopping disappointments, but hangeth thou in there and let your fingers do the walking on line!<br>Happy Creating, Bev <br>www.ridgetatter.blogspot.comRidgewomanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.com
