E uiga i tatau Itiiti

O tatau Itiiti ua sili ona taatele i le ulu atu o le seneturi 21, ae o lo latou tofi ua leva. Sa ave e tagata folau ni faailoga laiti — taula, sialo, fetu — i o latou lima ma tamatamailima e fai ma faailoga o malaga ma le manuia. Sa tausia e faatamasoaalii a Auropa Sasae rings laiti, igoa muamua, po o ni tamai fua i lalo o lavalava aloaia. O le mea sili e tutusa ma le Itiiti faaonaponei: o se vaega laitiiti ma se uiga tele e tatau ona ufiufi pe faaalia i le manao. Ua lagolagoina e le tusi laina manifinifi le suiga laiti i le sefulu tausaga ua mavae. E sa fai se Itiiti e ata laina e tasi pe atoatoa lava i ata laiti faatekinise, faatasi ai ma le mamafa o lagona e tasi nai lo le tele. Ae peitai, o le laitiiti e le o se faanoanoa o le auiliiliga; o le auala e fetaui ai lelei lou Itiiti mo lou nofoaga, le poto o lou tusiata, ma le uiga e te manao e tauaveina.

O le a le mea e lelei ai se tatau Itiiti

O se Itiiti sili e iloagofie i le mamao masani ma e tumau i le aluga o taimi. O le laina paipa e tatau ona tumau le manino ina ua matua le ata, o lea e ave ai e tusiata poto le faaeteete tele i mataitusi laitiiti ma fasi auiliili e mafai ona pupuni. Aua le ofuina ai aoga uma o lou olaga i totonu — filifili le mea taua e tasi. Tepa i nofoaga e fou i le aoaoga: o le ogalima, totonu o le tapulima, pito o le aufana, o le tua o le sulugatiti, po o le tafatafa o le vae. Aloese mai tamatamailima ma totonu o lima i lau uluai itiiti — e malulu ai le vaitusi.

Sitaili e lelei mo Itiiti

O sitaili e lelei mo se Itiiti e tatau ona faasao le manino i le tulaga laiti. O le faigofie e tutusa ma le faaopoopo: laina mama, leai se ata, leai se lanu. O le laina manifinifi e lelei mo fugalaau, manu, ma faailoga laiti, ae manaomia ai se tusiata poto e tausi ai le maualuga. O le tusi lima single-needle e maua ai se uiga tusi lima moni mo upu pupuu po o aso. O le masani laitiiti — se taula, peau, po o se lopa fetu — o se filifiliga e tumau ma lelei i le aluga o sefulu tausaga.
