Thread chain - tambour stitch

Embroidery is the most common type of needlework that has been known to the world since ancient times. The needlewomen of Greece, India, Syria and Rome have gained worldwide popularity due to their unique skills and unique works. Today, embroidery is still one of the most favorite kinds of needlework for many women. Most of the modern sutures appeared in antiquity. The most striking example in this case is the tambour stitch.

The name of this type of seam was not accidental. Tambour called special hoop, which was used as the main tool for embroidering a large cloth - carpet or bedspread. Perform a stitch suture in different ways - there are several varieties of manual and even machine embroidery. The main principle of its implementation is the creation of a chain of threads.

Before starting the work, the thread is fixed on the side of the web, which is purl. After such a simple action, the needle is drawn to the front side of the surface, and the thread is turned into a small loop in a circular motion. Then it is necessary to perform the main action - to insert the needle to the place where it came out in the first stitch. After that, the thread again goes to the wrong side of the canvas, the further distance of its exit to the front side you can choose independently. Then the principle of loop execution is repeated. It is very important to observe the same distance between all links of the chain. Only in this case the seam turns smooth and beautiful. The described method is an example of the technique of a stitching suture with a needle.

Embroider patterns on the fabric can be using various tools. You can perform a stitching stitch in hand embroidery in two ways - using a needle and a hook. The tool is mainly selected depending on the thickness of the thread. The crochet seam is made in the same way. The main rule in this case is to perform the embroidery without removing the thread from the hook and not losing the loop on the wrong side of the canvas.

The scope of the stitch seam is very diverse. With this technique, you can embroider the smooth surfaces of any fabric, process the edges of already finished products, make decorative elements, changing the location and direction of the loops. With the help of such a seam, you can make ornaments, compositions of flowers. The tambour seam is one of the main types, in embroidery it is usually combined with other stitch variations. For example, if you release several loops of different or equal sizes from the same base, you will visually obtain the original flower. If you place the loops in a zigzag pattern, you get an original twig with numerous leaves.

There is also a very important secret to the safety of embroidery with the help of a stitch suture. Particular attention should be paid to the last loop - it is necessary to fix the main thread. In the opposite case, all craftsmanship created will instantly dissolve when stretching for the loose end of the thread. And if you use a completely different thread to fix, then the result, unfortunately, will be similar.
