Bjarne,
As always, your work is so amazing .

I continue to struggle in my effort to learn to tambour. I took a course but
that did not seem to help. I thought it was supposed to be fast but I have not
found it to be fast. In fact, if I do
Hi,
If you're tambour work is hurting your back, then you need to reconfigure
your set-up. It should not hurt you.
As for speed, that comes with practice, no two ways about it. That does
discourage some people. With time and patience, speed may follow.

Laurie,
Thanks for the tambour tips. I agree with you that it is very beautiful and
worth the effort to keep trying.
I had read that it was much faster than chain stitch embroidery and therefore
was very surprised to find that it was not an easy thing to learn. Perhaps it
is faster in that yo
Hi Charlene,

Hmmm...starting with your last question, it would depend on how you are
working. If you want the chain on the front as in chain stitch embroidery,
then yes, you'd turn the work over to make a knot on the back. If you are
using tambour to apply beads, then you're probably working with the hook on
Be sure you have the right kind of hook. If you look closely, some of them
have the very end of the hook curving in slightly, reducing the chance it
will catch.
I have seen extant work done on a fine silk ground, and I have to wonder
if they were doing chain stitch with a needle rather than a tam
You can also make a tambour from some pieces of 1" x 2" lumber and 4 'C'
clamps, the kind that you can screw tighter. Every hardware store probably
has them, but this was the shortest link I could find to a picture.
