Tambour lace in general came from the Orient where a round frame, or Tambour ( like a drum)
was held between the knees and a type of muslin fabric was stretched over the tambour and the
stitches were formed with needle and thread on the muslin. Tambour is made with a fine hook
which pierces the fabric or net, picks up a thread from behind and draws the loop to the front. The
next stitch repeats this process and the resulting stitch resembles a chain. It is referred to as a
chain stitch. Tambour Lace Trims are based upon the similar process only the netting or fabric is
eliminated. The stitches in shape of a chain intertwined together create freestanding laces which
are first stitched upon a water soluble stabilizer. Washing away the stabilizer leaves these chain
formations mimicking beautiful lace embroideries.
I have always admired antique laces and heirloom work. Tambour Lace trims have trims in both
the 4x4 and the 5x7 hoops as well as insertion type blocks with lacy look embroideries to create
heirloom garments and home décor. Designs can be purchased individually or as a collection. The laces range from being .50" wide to 2.00" wide.Special markings are placed for creating continuous laces. I hope you enjoy these designs as much as I enjoyed
creating them.
