She taught me way back in the late 70's and started my career as a beader for costume and couture. Its a wonderful craft and well worth learning.<br />Jan Timms<br />www.tambourbeadembroidery.comTambour Bead Embroideryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14386693211384134295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-38331332240539173912011-12-24T17:54:35.419-05:002011-12-24T17:54:35.419-05:00Just hit upon your blog.

Bob is a wonderful and generous teacher. I took the 4 day beginner class and 3 day advanced class. It took me a while to catch on but I loved it right from the beginning even when I was all thumbs!

I've taught beaded knitting (with 8 perle cotton) and it's kind of the same idea-the beads pop up on the opposite side as they are slid into place. Thanks for sharing! Now I know where those beautiful appliques and beadwork are done on formal clothing!Artfully Decadenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907100393185213111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-67603491826805461272011-09-14T08:18:17.676-04:002011-09-14T08:18:17.676-04:00You know, I had a feeling that it was probably a l...You know, I had a feeling that it was probably a lot trickier to pick up than the video would suggest! I wonder how long most people have to work at it before they feel their results are consistent and attractive. That doesn't mean it isn't worth exploring...just that it won't be something to take a "casual" interest in!Cyndi Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564900810103675653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-20553832144927548692011-09-13T23:02:44.710-04:002011-09-13T23:02:44.710-04:00I took a three day class & let me tell you tha...I took a three day class & let me tell you that just because you can bead doesn't mean you can pick this up easily. It is very hard to do & took me all three days just to figure out what I was doing wrong. Had to give it up as I sew left to right & with tambour you need to do it right to left. Even the ladies who were with the Embroidery Guild of America were having problems learning this. But once you get it the work goes very fast. Unfortunately, I just never "got it".flyingbeaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552477017906406473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10301121.post-67725427243401866292011-09-13T20:47:05.257-04:002011-09-13T20:47:05.257-04:00I tried doing it once with a regular steel crochet...I tried doing it once with a regular steel crochet hook. It works, but you can't put the hook very far through because the shaft gets larger.

I thought they were just sewn. It does make more sense, as the stitches would be more secure.
