This may in fact be true. People may use shuttles to hold thread while embroidering. I wouldn't know. But it amuses me, this being the main thing used to explain a shuttle. Perhaps we could explain a tatting shuttle better by saying that it is used for, oh, I don't know, .... tatting?

An Ebay Funny
In browsing tatting shuttles on eBay I came across this description
THIS IS A NICE SEWING TOOL CALLED A TATTING SHUTTLE. THESE ARE USED TO ASSIST IN THE SEWING PROCESS BY HOLDING THREAD WHILE EMBROIDERING OR SIMILAR TASKS. SHUTTLE MEASURES 3" LONG.
