Liz Metallic Sand Dollar


I think this may be my favorite color of the Liz Metallic threads, Sand Dollar.


I wish you could see this one in person. It is beautiful! I'm not real fond of this Aerlit bobbin shuttle. I think it needs to be broken in. It's very stiff, and I did not enjoy using it. Does anyone use these on a regular basis? I would love to know the secret to enjoying them. If it moved as smoothly as my LaCossette shuttles, I would use them more often.


I should have taken this picture sooner when there was still some daylight coming in. These are all the Ice Drops I tatted in March, 33 in all. Looks like I made up for the two missing ones in February! ;-)

  1. That does look a pretty colour Liz metallic. I'm hoping to buy one or two balls in two week's time. Aerlit vary. Try a different bobbin in it. Best of all are the Aero bobbin shuttles or the new Clover bobbins.

    1. I do like the new Clover bobbins, and the Aero bobbins I have work pretty well. I had high hopes for the Aerlits, but so far I haven't enjoyed using them.

  2. I love seeing the new metallic threads tatted up. Did you buy all the colours? Like Jane, I'm hoping to buy some in the next few weeks.

  6. I’ve been watching to see if those metallic threads tat as nicely as they are beautiful! I can’t decide which colors I might . . . uuuuum . . . need. As for the Aerlits - I carry one in my tatting bag just for winding bobbins for my LaCossette shuttles 😬
