Your voice is lovely! And also I actually learned from this video! Clear directions and view of what your doing! Thank you:)

You are a brilliant teacher. 👏👏👏👏👏 you give the best directions. Thank you for sharing your talents and a wonderful plus is your voice.

Amazing what designers do this but never understood what was happening. Now have an idea. Just beautiful

Beautiful

Re-watching your excellent videos. Thank you so much for the very clear instructions.

Thank you!!! I've always been amazed by this type of beadwork and designer couture. I have a new hobby to practice.

My mother taught me embroidery, insisting the underside look as close to the top as possible; i’m not sure that she knew why, but now I do! Much easier to bead formalwear this way!

Another reason is that if there is a loop or a knot or something on the back it could come out or pull through to the front Sara, so generally the neater the back the neater the front!

YES! I want to do it this!

Awesome! Very detail explanation. Thank you.

Amazing and helpful video! Thank you for posting this!

Thank you. I saw a tambour hook advert and thought I would like to give it a try. Your tutorial was very helpful . I have now sent for the hock and look forward to decorating some of my plain tops,

This is beautifully explained and demonstrated. Thank you.

First time I have seen this and am fascinated, wanting to try now. Thanks pintrest and tutor

Fantastic tutorial!

So basically this is crochet in miniature, anyone that can crochet can also pick this up with little trouble your just chain stitching. I must give this a go.

you are very welcome- I thank you. As I continue to look about the net at work(wo)manship like this I feel lazy but heartened. I love the Arts and crafts Movement (England 1880"s-WW1) William Morris trying to restart the cottage industries again- he is the man who said "have nothing in your home that you do not deem beautiful or useful"- sorry Master Morris if I screwed that up- been up since 4am and need caffeine- very depressed of late and beauty like your work makes me realize there are reasons to lug one's butt out of bed. I haven't the dexterity to do what you do though. But I will watch more of your viddies.

thanks a lot , it really helpful

H i there Caroline, I cannot thank you enough for your videos, and your kind help when I e mailed you. You kindly recommended GJ Beads for the bead spinner and I have a spool holder too. I have managed to master the basic stitch and I have also watched ari videos so that I can either work from the top or from underneath.Would so love to know how to source tambour work designs as I ultimately want to work on a garment, so it is truly a one off!Happy New Year and thank you again for the time you have taken to help those of us that are not close to getting along to classes.

Hi Sarah! Could you do one about filling figures? Awesome videos!

Please show the beginning knots again which goes through the fabric on the beginning knots Thanks Marianne 💕😊

Have you ever done beadwork aari style? That is, with the beads or sequins loaded on the needle and done from the top instead of on the working thread and done underneath? If so, I'd love you see you do a tutorial on it. Most tutorials seem to be in Hindi or Tamil, which I don't speak. I haven't found one in English that's as clear as your explanations yet.

Fabulous! This just brought back a memory from my college fashion and textiles class, pretty sure we had a go at doing this .. that was 30 years ago. Can you also do the technique in reverse, ie from the underside or am I imagining that? I'm definitely going to buy a tambour and start practicing.

Hi. Thank you so much for this video. 1. Can one use any embroidery hoop frame or must it be only a tambour beading frame? 2. Does one need a stand for the frame? 3. Can you use any shape of beads and sequins when using silk organza? 4. How secure is this technique? 5. How long does tambour beading last on silk organza fabric?

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery

An ordinary embroidery frame is good but hands free is essential so have a look at a table clamp frame: www.sarahhomfray.com/myshop/prod_4538062-Versatile-table-clamp.html You can use any bead that will fit onto the tambour hook so check them first As with any embroidery, make sure you start and finish your threads securely and with care of your embroidery it should last a life time.

Thank you so much for wonderful videos on tambour work. Just bought my hook and am working through. I am wanting to learn tambour work to incorporate it into clothes. Can you advise where I can learn how to do this. I think I have to mark out my pattern pieces on fabric on the frame do the tambour work and then make up the jacket, dress etc.............is that correct? So hard to find courses in my part of the country.Thanks again for your very clear instructions. It's a new learning curve!

@carolinehomfray1830

Hi Marysia, yes that's the best approach. mark out the pattern piece edges, and the seam allowance. Use a frame large enough to get the width of the piece on; you can roll up the fabric around the bars to make it easier to reach into the working area. Mark on the embroidery, and bear in mind for tambour you want to mark out the stitching line; the beads and sequins will be wider than this line. then sew up the garment; you may need to beads across the seams once they're stitched up. you can use a zipper foot to get round beading which goes right up to the seam. If you use a ring frame on finished garments, you risk leaving a round mark on the fabric. If you want to try this, unmount the fabric from the ring frame whenever you're not working on it. Good luck!

So do you start your work with the bottom faceing up and the side you want to have your beads on is at the bottom. Do you have to do it upside down

A novice beaded here. Is this tool and technique something that could be used to decorate Native regalia (USA, Native American), as an alternative to hand-beading (which is tedious)? I ask because I only ever see it done on looser weave type cloth (translucent), and wondering if it would work on, say a poly-cotton blend, used as clothing?

@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery

You can work this technique on any kind of fabric you can make a hole in Margaret! It's done on this fabric in these videos so that you can see what's happening underneath and also because this is the style that Caroline does.

A tambour hook is sharp like a needle, has a straight shank and has the screw which tells you which way it is facing when in the fabric. You could try out a tiny crochet hook and use net.

Is there a way to add the beads with tambour where you can have them on top of your work instead of under neath?
