I've posted a new video on YouTube on Tambour Chain Stitch.
I hope to blog about that soon.
I've used a Tambour Hook with a rounded tip but has the usual hook part, its an antique.
I'm interested in comparing this to an Ari Hook (sometimes spelt Aari) from India.

Comment by Jeanne-Marie Mellor on June 20, 2012 at 10:50 Oh, Thank You for that, Beth! I'm intrigued by Serendipity-- 'meeting' you doing this same thing of pursuing Aari and Tambour! You said you posted a tambour chain stitch video? I haven't seen it on you tube. Do you have a link?
Comment by Beth Lea on June 20, 2012 at 1:54 Yes, The London Embroidery School in Islington supplies them:
The close-up image of their tip is best I've managed to find and appears more rounded than conventional Tambour Hook.
Comment by Jeanne-Marie Mellor on June 19, 2012 at 19:09 Hi Beth,
Funny, I've been researching these 2 exact same techniques. I haven't been able to find a source for Aari needles. Do You know of one? I looked for your video but couldn't find it. Do you have a link?
