I'm wondering just what *is* tambour embroidery. I have a series of needles in assorted sizes that I can put into a handle, run thread through the needle and up the hollow body of the handle and do what I was told was punch embroidery or Russian embroidery.
I also have a tambour hook. It looks like a crochet hook on a solid wooden handle but has a vicious point on the head of it. I don't see where the thread would go with this one. I thought it was worked from the wrong side of the fabric and the thread (and beads) run across the front of the fabric. You make chain stitched on the wrong side that's facing you. Which is what? And is either one found before 1600? Thanks Julie _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
