It's so nice just to hear your voice on this video.

It was while at Illinois that i first learned about tambour...and I never let it go...Now it consumes my retirement. You can always reach me at my regular email rwhave2@uky.edu lots ot catch up on

You can do this work on any sheer fabric including tulle, lace, organza, chiffon. The fabric does not have to be silk . Once you have learned the stitch to work with accuracy you can do it on opaque fabrics as well relying on your sense of touch to feel each bead or sequin as you make the stitch

Thank you Bob! I was wondering how the couture houses did this. Making my daughter's wedding dress, need to do a lot of beading, this will save me so much time!

Great video. I go to the Academy of Art University as an online student, and I wasn't able to take a class on tambour beading you taught...I was disappointed that I couldn't. I was thrilled to be able to find a DVD with instructions on tambour beading that you instructed. It was really helpful, and I can't wait to practice more! Thank you!

Hello Lovely work. I'v been doing this work since I was 16(32 years) and could'nt agree more about keeping these skills alive and kicking. I wish you all the best with your projects.

my pleasure. Its my goal to get tambour hooks into as many hands as possible to keep the art alive!

I just recently knew about tambour beading and this is the first video I've watched to see the process.

Thanks so much Mr Haven , your video and info has helped me a lot ! I was asked to make a replica pair of the Ruby Slippers from Wizard of Oz , though I purchased the tool I wound up crafting my own from a fine crochet hook , since that first pair I have made several pair of "Overlays" in the same way the originals were made. Your vid has created a side business doing what I love , including my favorite film ever made ! THANKS so much!

Yes! Many thanks for posting this video and for the narrative about this fabulous work as I have always wanted know the "trick" to it as well as see a close up of the tambour needle at work. This was great!

Great Work Mr.Haven. Finally a video that really goes into detail.

Hello Mr. Haven, I was looking for a faster method of embroidery (project with tight schedule) , and my research led me to your page. I just wanted to thank you for sharing the actual details of using the tool. Its providing an excellent jumping point!

Roselyn That's great but the most effective way to really learn the technique is with a hands on master class. I am in Toronto at Ryerson University doing just that this week while they are on a "Reading Break. I will have classes in KY in March then again in early May and also in September.

Robert Haven Thank you, Robert. I will definitely get over there to Facebook. I am just amazed that I haven’t heard of this being taught, let alone done, right here in the Heartland! Yep, I live in Carbondale, home of SIU. Lol. Probably if I would explore more than I do, chance could be that it’s taught there. 🤷‍♀️ Now that I have that thought, I am going to have to find out. I am more than satisfied with your work! I am Amazed by all of this. 🤭

Jesse, Thanks you know I do teach regular embroidery classes on line for the Academy of Art Univ! Both a beginner surface embroidery and an Advanced class! Today I just wrapped up my 5th summer teaching tambour beading in San Francisco at the AAU fashion program.

OMG! Thank you. I just bought the tambour kit rightnow. I'm so excited to use it. I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail!!! Aaahhh! Hehe.

Simona Not sure I have seen a tambour hook used quite that way. It would be terribly wrong in the eyes of the lades at LEsage! The Idian Aari hook is used from the front but that is a somewhat different technique altogether that has many more limitations .

Robert, Thank you! I'm showing your video to my fashion class. I'm a colleague at New Mexico State University.

I went for a Tambour embroidery course recently! Thank you for your video!

yes a single strand works nicely! Also rayon machine embroidery thread also stitches like "butter!" You can get spools at any sewing store. Some of the metal machine embroidery threads also work brilliantly as well!

This is the one I've been looking for-THANK YOU!! Now I can use my Tambour hook which has been sitting in my sewing box for a year or so (😂)- just hope I can get the hang of it!!

That was very educational - thank you!

My eyes aren’t great but I am trying to figure this out. So basically you are applying the beads to the underside of the fabric-thus the semitransparent fabric? Cool! I still think I will probably need one of those magnifying work lights. Beautiful work!

Thank you very much! this is super useful! and much faster than beading with a regular needle xD

Haha! I have been doing hand embroidery with needle and thread and only just discovered the tambour needle and a few others. Like this one because of the hook needle. I must try it. I could go faster! Thanks for the information!! :)

Maravilhoso !

When you see the work what would go into a couture piece can you really wonder at the price. Its the last true form of traditional western beauty what I hope will never die

Very good to know, and hopefully I'll have one of your classes. I am planning on taking the surface embroidery course online. I'm really interested in these techniques.

I always wondered how they did that. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I just bought the needle and hoop stand and was a little but confused about the thread. Thanks again

Great work!

awsome video!!! finally found it!! thank u very much!!!!

Thank you very much for sharing this! It is such a interesting technique that I have been curious about trying since I do bead weaving and some bead crochet, as well as bead embroidery with a standard beading needle. Is there a particular thread that you would recommend for this technique?

ok esta hermoso lo que hace ademas que lo explica claramente y el video es muy bueno

thanks so much for this video, mr rob

actually the larger needles are for thicker threads. I use plain sewing threads to apply beads and sequins. I use cotton or silk floss when I am working the chain stitch on the surface

This is awesome!

Ooooooh....This is brilliant!! I have always wondered how the sequins were sewn on...I see it is a painstaking process and a labor of love...I have a richer appreciation for beaded and sequinned apparel. Who was the mastermind behind this ingenious technique?? 💚💚💚

Kathleen gad to know that you appreciate the hand artistry that goes into this dying art form. There is very little written about the history of the technique and what few sources are out there seem to indicate that about 1865 Luis Ferry-Bonnechault adapted a lace making technique that has become known as Lunneville embroidery or tambour beading. My next book will be a brief history of the technique and its place in the haute couture industry.

Carla there is a version of the technique used in India where the sequins and beads are applied to the surface with a hook. The hook they use is not nearly as refined as the Tambour hook that is used in PAris on the couture garments . Watch for classes in your area as it is most successfully learned under the watchull eye of an experienced teacher. Trust me you wont stop at one project as there are so many ways to use the basic tambour stitch.

in India they have the beads on top, and the threath under. they call this aari.

@@missartist123 Not necessarily - with aari, the beads are loaded onto the hook, so you have to add more as you go (you can only load up as many beads as fits on the hook). With tambour, they're loaded onto the thread, so you can keep going for much longer without stopping (you can load up as many beads as fits on the thread - hundreds, even.)

@tambourbeader Thank you! It's very addictive. Just ordered a pair of 49" frames...

Wow vraiment très beau

Hello! Can you explain the prick and pounce (design tranferal) method used in Lesage Maison? I curious about the materials/tools used as well... I bought your book and that it sooo interesting and beautiful! Congrats from Brazil!

OMG thank you so much for taking the time to show in "slow motion" how to!!!!!!! I have gone to some other sites to see how they sew on the sequins and they do it so so so fast that my eye got a "twitch"...not really, but it still was fast. Regarding the hook, is that only type of hook that will work in making these type of beading? Well again thank you for showing, I will keep you site in my file so i can reference when I need you.

yes it can be worked quite nicely on tulle or lace. For these fabrics you do not need to stretch the fabric as tight as with organza since you will be using the holes already there!

Exquisite! Bon!

indeed and it really isn't as hard to learn an one might think or as most folks think it is!

thanks bob that was interesting information :)

God bless you!

A great man work

I remember that this type of embroidery was very popular during the Edwardian era of England and France. However it was also the time when the HMS Titanic sailed in April 1912. Just a bit of historical reference to the time period.

this is an excellent video, thanks very much for posting. regards beth lea

Thank you so much for this video. I've wanted to learn this technique for years! I've been practicing for almost a month now, it took me 9 days to finally get it, and now I'm really enjoying it. My goal is to make a purse with this technique and my only problem is finding the right thread to use. I've tried beading thread like nymo but it splits to easily. Could you please tell me what type of thread is the best to use for different materials. Thanks again so much for your great video.

Thank you for you information.

muchas gracias. Déjame saber si usted tiene alguna quesitons.

I teach classes in my KY studio I have some coming up at the end of September then again in late April or early May . I havent set those dates yet. Go got the site listed in the video description or google Bead Embroidery And Design Studio

Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Fantastic 👌👌👌👌👌

i am in love with this work, can you tell me what's the advantage of beading with (hook), can we use simpely a needle? good continuation.

no because you have to keep your left hand under the frame. If the frame were vertical you would only be able to stitch as far as the elbow . With it flat I can reach my entire left arm under the frame with my entire right arm above the frame.

Debra The beds are purchased on threads in hanks, 10-12 strands to the hank. The thread they come on ar etied to a spool of thread and then the beads transferred on to the spool of thread From here they are ready to be applied to the fabric.

Would love to take a class please keep us updated when the next one will be I'm in ky also that for the videos

Thank you , I will try

practice the pressure with just the hook and no thread until you get the feel of it. Plunge the hook. turn it 180 degrees then apply pressure to the back side . The amount of pressure is very slight but without it the hook will snag the fabric. In my beginner class we spend at leats 15-20 minutes on that stem before even picking up thread

Amazing...! I will like to learn....

It is called a Tambour hook among English speaking countries. In France its often called a corchet de Lunevulle or just Luneville

@tambourbeader yeah, i always make sure that the grain stays square, I think I make my stitches to tight. Well, maybe a heavy starch is a solution, but there are some fabrics that I only dry clean, anyway. Thanks for the fast reply!

wow!!! nice

XEJMX1, You can tambour beads on satin but it all has to be done entirely by feel as you can see through the fabric. Shipwreck beads has a large selection of beads sold in hanks ( on threads) so that you dont have to string them youself

Indeed once your fingers get the feel of the technique you can do it on opaque fabric. Its is best however to learn on sheer fabric. Hoops dont hold the fabric tight enough , a flat frame (I make my own) that allows all 4 corners to move independently is the most versatile.

its called a tambour hook I don't know where to get them in Europe. If you google "bead embroidery and design studio" It will take you to my site. follow the "Classes" link and on that go to the supplies. There is also a 2 hr instructional DVD available as well
