This is my most recent Tambour project! It's been finished since I filmed this, but the process was incredible! Today we're covering transferring the design, choosing beads, transferring them from the hank to the working thread, and first stitches!

I don't need a cloth/ fiber arts rabbit hole to violently fall down, yet here you are, luring me in with patterns and shiny things. I AM NOT A MAGPIE

That is very cool. I've never seen anyone use one of those tools. Not that I need another hobby because I have too many hobby loves already BUT I definitely have to research that tool! This is an awesome skill you have. Thanks for sharing it!👍😊

Why is this so relaxing to watch? I used to embroider from 5th grade to my late teenage years. I miss it. It's beautiful and so is what you do.

The problem with heat disappearing pens is that they reappear if it gets really cold.

@yuuri9064 3 ай бұрын

They don't wash out later or break down/evaporate with heat??? That's so upsetting!

I have had luck using just plain room temp water on the ghost marks. Will they come back if it gets cold? Idk. Assume if they do, they will be more faint as its water based ink

Can you just do a video on getting the beads onto a string? I see a lot of these seed beads that I want to put on necklaces.

I would say pass on the frixon pen as they are NOT intended to totally disappear on fabric..thats the manufacturer saying it not me.. instead go for Crayola ultra clean maker's..the work great

It depends on the amount of beadwork, but yes it does take quite a while!

Can tambour embroidery be done with an opaque fabric?

@katmakes 2 ай бұрын

Yes! On anything you can get framed or hooped up (you need both hands to stitch) + can pierce with the hook. It's easier to learn on a sheer fabric like organza though, so that you can see what the lower hand is doing :)

The Tambour embroidery hook I think is what you mean? if you click the related video link on this video it'll take you to the start of my 'learn tambour embroidery' playlist- the first video in that series covers all the supplies you need to get started!

The beads for this fabric came from Shipwreck Beads in the US!

@dragonjoy1313 3 ай бұрын

What fabric is the strongest for this?

@katmakes 3 ай бұрын

Organza! I always recommend folks learn on silk organza because it's an excellent combination of strong and sheer, so you can still see what that lower hand is doing :) - if you like, there's more detail in my 'learn tambour embroidery' playlist :)
