Thank you Javier! What questions could I talk about next?

@@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw oh hello, well maybe you can talk about how the tambour embroideries are put onto a haute couture dress.

How do you copy design to the fabric? Pls do a video on that

Thanks for your comment. That makes me feel happy! 😊

I was searching for the best color silk organza and found your channel. So happy I did! I have my hook and needles…will order my fabric next…in white. I am interested in how you applied the finished Tambour beading to that shoe…and also the bag. How close can you cut your beading out?

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

Hello Maria! My local shoe maker Made the shoe for me (taking apart and assembling again). The fabric with embroidery has been glued to the existing leather. I would leave a centimeter seam allowance around your embroidery 🧵.

Thank you for the information! I was wondering, I have some experience with tambour embroidery have been designing bags recently using cotton fabric but i would like to use it on jean material to create my own version of the sashiko technique. Could i do it on this fabric would i need to use my bigger needle or buy an even bigger one, in terms of the thread I assume i’d have to also get a thinker one than normal

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

@@sduhecheva5516 yes, you chose a needle with the thread you use.

Thanks for your information. I'm curious also ,if the embroidery can't be washed by washing machine,then how shall I wash it ?for example an embroidered jacket ? thanks !

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

Great question! It is haute couture embroidery . Imagine embroidered dresses being tossed in the washing machine ….:-) . Same with clothing for opera and theatre. Of course you may hang it in the air and there are ways to clean with a dot of fabric with alcohol which kills bacteria (armpit area), but this is something you should try out carefully and at your own risk 🤪

Hi Saskia thank you for your video ❤❤ I was wondering can you use silk organza as jewelry. How can I make earrings for instance with tambour embroidery?

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

I think this is possible. However, I am not a jewelry expert, and I have no experience. The silk organza is very lightweight. Even with only stitches I can imagine it would be dreamy and beautiful.

Thank you.

You’re welcome! Are there other questions you would like to get answered here?

Thread recommendations?

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

@@rebeccaolsen6196 great idea 💡!

[@glacialimpala]

Thank you for this video! Would 6 momme be suitable? I also wonder if it is wise to pre-wash the fabric to deal with the shrinkage before you do anything with it...

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

As every fabric acts different and every use has its own perks, I would recommend you to always make samples to make sure the result meets your standard👍

[@jamie-leejansen8297]

Hi Saskia is there any other fabric that can be used besides silk organza? I have been searching for is where I live and it is just incredibly difficult to find.

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

Sure! But it is the best fabric to start with. Etsy is a place where you can find anything you need.

[@jamie-leejansen8297]

@@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw Any other fabric you can recommend?

[@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw]

@@jamie-leejansen8297 no , it really is the fabric to start with.

[@jamie-leejansen8297]

@@SaskiaterWelleRisseeuw Thank you. I live in South Africa and Esty shipping is more than x10 times the cost of the fabric itself. But thank you for the advise.

[@swan_ng]

You could also try using chiffon
