Couture Bead Masters is founded by Charlotte Appleby a Couture dress designer from the UK. I share my passion of couture beading and embellishment through online courses and teach live globally sharing the artisanal skill of the Luneville technique. Luneville is practiced mostly in Couture houses of Paris by prominent brands such as Chanel and Christian Dior. It is featured mostly in haute couture fashion where many hours are put into making one garment. I share over a decade of my knowlege and continued appreciation through this channel and online/live courses as well as private commission work.
I guess I need to go find the video on how to dress a slate frame. Lol. I actually clicked on the video that said it was "Question 5 of 7 questions in 7 days." So then realized I needed to find the one titled question 1. I like your teaching style though. I hope you are still making videos on this channel? I'll have to check for that as well as if you did a video on how to make a slate frame? I discovered tambour embroidery through Kat Makes a couple of months ago. I have watched several videos by couture design houses and from other people. It's such a beautiful art form. I am so impressed with the creativity of the people who do tambour embroidery and am eager to learn. I started doing embroidery in 5th grade. And kept it up for years. Even sometimes using my mother's old sheets. I bought some hooks, thread and materials last year. But hadn't discovered adding beading and tambour embroidery. This is something I would have been so intimidated by before. And I am a little anxious. But the beauty of it and the desire of wanting to learn all I can about it far exceeds that anxiety. I know the anxiety is just not wanting to be bad at it or learn how to properly do it. But that doesn't mean that I can't learn. Plus I miss being creative. Thank you for the time and effort that you put into this. I appreciate it.❤
Hi there sorry for the delayed message.. yes I do online courses from Foundational to int/advanced level, feel free to look over them here: couturebeadmasters.com/collections/online-courses
I’m unsure how to embroider material, large material, say if I want to embroider the hem of a dress. Would you be able to explain why we frame the fabric like this? And how I can tambour material to be used for garments, I would like to tambour embroider a large piece of fabric running down the side of my body. Does one need a frame for this? Thank you very much for your video and explanations
Is there a specific tulle you use, or will any standard synthetic tulle work? I'm experienced in tambour beading on organza but haven't tried tulle yet.
Hi Charlotte! This is Janis, your Tambour Embroidery student from Singapore! Missing you & your amazing classes! I highly, highly recommend Charlotte as a teacher 👍🏻 Brilliant teacher & so patient & knowledgeable. Hope to see you back in Singapore soon!
This is amazing, you are very good at explaining the correct way of doing this. I have tried learning in person by others and online tutorials,bbut this is the best by far. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video! Can you tell me where you can buy this slate frame? I ve been looking in the internet for hours but i cant find a good one.
I just received some tambour hooks and had previously seen some videos about how to do this technique. I thought, how hard can it be? Turns out it's not easy or intuitive, even for fairly skilled sewists and embroiders! But thanks to your video I realized I was wrapping the thread around in a full circle instead of 1.5 circles. I think that will make a big difference in how it goes next time I try it. Thank you.
Wow thank you for this video, found it so informative, it has given me some great ideas on how I can add tambour technique to my hand sewing. Yes please a video on how to transfer the bird to a garment would be amazing. It is such a pretty bird, can I ask did you use the tambour hook to do the embroidery? Thanks x
