Thank-you for another great tutorial, Kenneth!
Excellent video for those of us who are bead enthusiasts and also for novices who might be wary of attempting beadwork.
Another fabulous tutorial Prof King.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I am teaching myself tambour work, but as you point out, some projects you would not want to stretch in a frame!
Wow. I can't wait to incorporate this technique into my sewing. Thank you.
