In addition, using various varieties of this seam, you can embroider not only with a needle, but also with a crochet hook. Let's look at the technique for performing this decorative stitch.
Tambour stitch with hook
Using a hook, you can embroiderSome pattern or ornament on the finished product. Also, it can be used to sew up sleeves or process the edge of a knitted product in order to avoid unwanted stretching in the future.
In order to learn how to decorate knitted items with such an interesting seam, you can watch a short video lesson:

This video clearly shows that the featureThis seam is that during work the hook is on the front side of the product, and the working thread, on the contrary, passes from the wrong side. In addition, after carefully viewing this short lesson, you may notice that when embroidering with a chain stitch, the master does not always get directly into the loop itself; rather, he simply punches the fabric in the right places.
Thanks to this technique, you can quickly
even a large drawing. Any knitted clothing will become special and unique after it is decorated with tambour embroidery.
Technique for making a chain stitch
Before you start decorating the productTambour seam, it is necessary to fill the selected fabric in the embroidery frame. This is necessary in the first place to ensure that the seam is flat on the contour of the pattern and does not tighten the fabric.
There are two ways to embroider chain stitches.
First way
In the first case, we begin to embroider by movingin the direction from top to bottom. To do this, we first bring the needle with the working thread on the front side at point No. 1 and make a loop. Then we bring the needle to the wrong side in the already existing puncture number 2, which is located next to the first point and at the same time be sure to hold the loop with your finger.
Next we need to do without delaying the resultingstick the needle back onto the surface at point No. 3 and at the same time tighten the thread a little so that the loop becomes smoother. Then, making the next loop, you will need to pierce the material with the needle right next to point No. 3, so that the needle comes out on the right side inside the resulting loop.
By doing this you will soon notice thaton the wrong side you have a “stitch” seam, and on the front side it consists of loops. Pay special attention to the fact that if you embroider a pattern using a classic chain stitch, this means that all the loops you get must be identical.
This is a diagram that will help you quickly master the technique of chain stitch embroidery.
Second method This method of embroidering such a seam is slightly different from the first. But it is also easy to implement, so you will undoubtedly appreciate it.
First you will need to do a smallstitch from point No. 1 to point No. 2. After this, you will need to pierce the fabric at point No. 3 and bring the needle and thread to the right side. Please note that the distance from point No. 2 should be the same as the size of the eyelet. Having done this, you will need to pass the needle under stitch 1-2 and stick the needle as close to point No. 3 as possible.
Next, you need to bring the needle to the frontside at point No. 4 and, having passed it at the base of the loop you made, prick it again into the material at point No. 4. Then you will have to bring it back to the front side at point No. 5.
These two methods are in perfect harmony with each other and allow you to embroider without breaking the thread. It is also worth noting the fact that in this seam it is possible to change the size of the loops and their shape.
How to turn an ordinary chain stitch into a convex
The convex seam is a "composite" element and is performed in 2 stages. At the first stage, your embroidery will resemble a "ladder", and on the second step "steps" will appear on it.
This type of seam is ideal for embroiderylupine and delphiniums. But that’s not all they can do. You can also embroider rough tree trunks or beautiful unusual ornaments with a convex seam.
After studying our short lesson, you will be able to embroider products yourself with a convex seam:
If you will sew all the rows while moving inThe same side, then you will get a smooth seam. And if you need a texture, then you should alternate the rows: one to sew up, and the other vice versa - down.
When your embroidery is finished, you will see the resulting raised pattern.
Two-color and zig-zag tambour seam
You have already noticed that sewing with a tambour seamQuite simply. But in order to slightly diversify and decorate our work, we can use not only the usual tambour seam, but also convex, zigzag and even two-color.
If you want to start sewing with two-color chain stitchseam, then you first need to choose thread colors that go well with each other. Then you will have to thread two different colored threads into the needle and start working directly.
You perform the first stitch with only one threadcolors at the same time you need to hold the other thread above the tip of the needle. After this, you pull both threads and thereby complete the first stitch. You will need to make the second stitch with a thread of a different color. In this simple way you can embroider a two-color chain stitch.
In order to embroider a pattern with a zigzag chain stitch, you need to mark two parallel lines on a selected area of fabric. It is best to start working from the top point of the left line.
First you must pierce the fabric with a needle so that its tip comes out at a certain point located on the opposite line. Next you will need to pull out the thread and make a chain stitch.
After this, you can make a second stitch, which should also be inclined. But it is worth noting that it will need to be performed in the opposite direction.
By doing this you will get a zigzag chain stitch.
