US Patent No. 31,624, granted March 5, 1861 to David F. Randall of Hartford, Connecticut, for a tatting frame and a method of making tatting (scalloped trimming for dress). The frame, clamped to a table edge, holds a separate warp thread on pins so both hands can work the shuttle while forming loops. The patent also describes a wire shuttle made in two halves joined by a clasp. It includes a drawing sheet of six figures and a specification comparing the method with the old way of tatting with one thread held on the fingers.
