Im am so glad i found you. Was looking for Limerick Lace and/or Lierse Kant (Belgium) . Both embroidery on tule. In my country (Netherlands) there is hardly any lace tradition. Specially your "away is against the clock" is very helpful and now my new mantra when practising. Thank you very much.
great demo/lesson, thank you. the best part was the blooper tho, I'm glad you still make mistakes as it teaches us that we can't always be perfect. thanks again.
Unreal skill! I suspect once you catch the flow of it this would be quite meditative like with any fibre art but my goodness - the learning curve of learning these curves!!! And not a lot of room for error with thin fabric like this. Taking a stitch out would certainly show!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery happy to! Such awesome content here - I can at least get you a cup of coffee on me once in a while!! I can’t imagine! I would die, cry, and die again if they all came out 😭😱
So well explained... Thank you so much. very inspiring though I'm not able to do it so smoothly. one strand of thread from the fabric always gets pulled out with the needle.
Make sure your hook is lined up accurately with the screw, Anasua. Practise turning it so that you can clear the fabric smoothly. A little bit of pressure with your fingers against the screw side will open up a little hole and help it clear the fabric.
most people don't push back enough, it's just practice. You don't actually think much about which direction you go in once you get some practice done :)
You have explained the technique brilliantly. And then demonstrated your mastery! lol Well done. Can you please explain why it is important to wind the thread clockwise or anti clockwise when changing direction? Thank you
It helps over the course of working a design to wind the thread roughly equally in each direction. Wrapping only one way will build twist into the thread which will cause it to twist together and knot up. Experiment with wrapping the other way and see what happens!
muchas gracias por compartir esta tecnica, quisiera que dijeras que tipo de aguja es, aqui no se consiguen, se puede hacer esta tecnica con aguja de crochet ? de que número? te agradeceria turepuesta
Un gancho de tambour es afilado, y es levemente diferente a un gancho de ganchillo de otras maneras. Vea el video sobre herramientas y materiales para obtener más información.
Hi Caroline when you mention clockwise and anticlockwise do you mean the bottom thread or the hook or both? I'm confused.... i thought it meant bottom thread only but it looks like you turn the hook.
Just one question. I can't find any advice re: tambour for left handers. Just for starting and direction I know it's easy to look and say just reverse it but it really would be most helpful to see it. Could you possibly put together a basic stitch and direction video for lefties. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one who would be eternally grateful. I learned all my needlework skills by using books and mirrors which I can tell you is really time consuming and confusing. Thank you for reading.
Honestly, thank you for swearing. I have been so frustrated at times when the stitch falls through. I am pretty sure people can hear my words inside my head. I’m careful not to open my mouth lol I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Folks would be surprised how much swearing comes from the mouths of embroiderers! As with anything needing fine movements it can be very frustrating at times.
I'm so intrigued by this form of embroidery. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.

You are so welcomev Ric! Glad you are finding Caroline's tambour videos and instruction helpful. There is more on the way from her!
I not only love to watch & learn how to do this...but I love the bloopers at the end..!!!
What an excellent instructor. You can tell what an expert you are because you make it look so easy! Very well done!

Best tutorial for tambour on UA-cam by far! Thanks so much for this excellent instruction!!

And if you pull one stitch, they all come out in a big flurry!!! Thanks for your support again x

I think the 7:43 mark is what defines this as a truly British video.
It is much less tiring and lots more fun NOT to live on a pedestal of perfection!
Love that spot! I say that a lot since I am still new to tambour!
hello lovelies i adore this video others are so hard to follow!! whats the best frame you reccomend for tambour work have a lovely day!! xx andrew
Everyone swears doing embroidery.. that's the best laugh😂😂
The wonder of editing...:)

Caroline Homfray Thank you so much for the tip. I will try this out.

Thank you. I got the hang of it.
Would you mind answering a question? Is linen a good fabric for a tambour needle?
If it's a fine linen I think it would look lovely Abeela. Avoid a loose weave linen
You have explained the technique brilliantly. And then demonstrated your mastery! lol Well done.

fantastic video
So could I still do this with out beads and can I do it on just cotton instead of silk fabric
Yes to both of those questions! Check out our other videos on tambour
Ok thanks what size of needle would be good for dmc pearl 5 or is this too big for this technique
Que bieeeeeeeen
muchas gracias por la traducción.
Un saludo
Espero que puedas entender los subtítulos Rosy. Me lleva mucho tiempo hacerlas, pero vale la pena si más gente puede entender el video.
Si muchas gracias
Eso me imagino que muchas personas podrán tener la oportunidad del aprendizaje de esta bonita labor.
Nuevamente gracias
Un saludo
Your needle is super
Hi Caroline when you mention clockwise and anticlockwise do you mean the bottom thread or the hook or both? I'm confused.... i thought it meant bottom thread only but it looks like you turn the hook.
Hi Fee, it's both - the hook will turn the same way the thread wraps. If you wrap and turn in opposite directions you get a twisted stitch.
@@carolinehomfray1830 Oh No! :( i've been doing half right.
@@feestuart2499 don't worry! Half right is still good.
