Good morning, Mr.Haven. Could I ask you a question about the completion of the embroidery, more specifically about the process of protecting the finished embroidery?
It all depends on how the beading will be used...applique ...or integrated directly onto a garment pattern piece. Generally nothing goes over the finished beading unless it it being mounted and framed
I watched a video on TH-cam - th-cam.com/video/JE-I1QQdqY0/w-d-xo.html (4:12) , where after the completed embroidery, the embroidery received hot steam (I imagine that a steam iron was used) and then, was passed a kind of glue on the back of the embroidery. Would you know what this material is? Thank you very much, Mr.Haven.
Oh yes that!!!! At Lesage in PAris they give everything a final light sizing of GUM ARABIC ...found in art supply stores. I use an acid free paper glue that is fairly thick. You dispense a small amount in your palm and tap it with your index finger until it starts to get really sticky then lightly rub this sticky finger on the back of all the threads pulling any tails into the center or under stitched areas. The objective is to get a very thin film of this sizing on the threads so that nothing comes loose. It is important to use ACID FREE sizing. That can usually be found in scrapbooking suplies at craft stores or even in art supply stores..
Thank you so much for sharing your time and such important tips, Mr.Haven. Really very helpful. Greetings from Brazil.
So glad they are helpful!

Thank you! You inspired me, to give this a go, when you were on Fit2Stitch with Peggy Sagers. I had not heard of Tambour beading until then.
Wonderful!
Thank you for video dear... I am good at tambour work but find very hard to frame up fabric in traditional Indian frames but this way is much easy...
Thank you for the kind comment I am glad it has proven to be helpful!
For laces, is it the same way for installing to the frame?
You only used 2 C clamps?
no there are 4 c clamps on in each corner. I only demonstrated one side of the frame.
where can you buy the frame
I sell them from my Bead Embroidery and Design Studio website but I am away from my studio until August 13
Dressing the frame tambour
thank you again
I just realized from your video, I am dressing my frame incorrectly. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
