The overall story about the author's journey in embroidery is lovely, but there are no diagrams, line drawings, or step-by-step pictures. Instead, the author (whose first language is not English) gives text descriptions of various elements of this craft. The chapter on frames does not have a single picture or diagram, simply text describing the way a frame should look/work, in English that is slightly difficult to follow at times. Not worth the purchase price. I would have gotten just as much information by searching on youtube (and now I will have to look there or elsewhere for actual how-to instructions), and I was really wanting something that had extremely clear diagrams I could use as a reference without having to have my computer in front of me. ### ⭐⭐ Not a technique guide *by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2018* The author appears to have had an unpleasant time studying embroidery in France. While I commend her for wanting to get the word out about tambour embroidery, this book is not a technique guide despite the title. A beginner needs more than this. The basic tambour stitch is dispensed with in a couple of short paragraphs. There are minimal illustrations, and many references to the author's website and Etsy shop. I suspect one would do better simply to read her blog. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handy little manual with some caveats for the beginner... *by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2019* This is a solid little reference book for the basics of tambour.Ter Welle has written a concise guide for the beginner tambour embroiderer here. They start off with a solid preface and then work through the basics of the stitch in very clear English prose. It covers the famous embroidery houses, the basics of the stitch, and specific applications of the stitch as well as the ancillary tools and supplies. They go on to give some personal commentary about how to think about the whole process which is really thoughtful and very nice to have.This book is especially good if you are a student who can learn from explanation rather than diagrams and illustrations. And that is the only place this little guy falls short - there *are* color photographs, but they are not as thorough as they could be. I am using this for my sewing classes in Chicago tambour series and it tends to put folks off a bit that there are not more illustrations of the hand position or photographs of the entire sequence of the stitch. It almost requires a live person showing you what they mean. And exactly how to do it point-by-point.Chapter 5, where they cover the chainstitch itself, is a good example. It shows you the chainstitch in progress using a crochet hook, and it shows you a tambour hook being used, but it does not show you the full dynamic progression of the stitch. This is easier for some, but can be really difficult to divine if you are someone who can't think in a kind of "active progression 3-dimensional" way.But that is the only deficit here - with the lack of tambour technique manuals out there, this is a handy little godsend. Hopefully other editions will fill out the text with more pictures/images/diagrams of the work in progression. This is going to be the basic go-to for live classes, for sure.You may want to look elsewhere if you are trying to teach yourself without someone knowledgeable standing beside you or if you expect to use *only* the book and not the online resources they give. A lot of folks will really have trouble if they are trying to rely on the book alone. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55454730-getting-started-with-tambour-embroidery-haute-couture-embroidery-series](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55454730-getting-started-with-tambour-embroidery-haute-couture-embroidery-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
