Tambour work is a fascinating technique used for bead embroidery (also known as French embroidery beading) as well as decorative chain stitch embroidery. Needlework techniques such as Couching and goldwork were historically used to decorate priestly gowns. However, these days, they are often employed to add fascinating, luxurious, and highly elaborate details to textiles.
