How to Dress a Slate Frame for Tambour Embroidery

- A much requested video, and perfect timing because my peacock capelet needed to be shifted in its frame! This video covers my favourite way to mount fabric on my frame - or "Dress" the frame, as it's traditionally called. Your slate frame might look different to mine since I made mine myself, and there are certainly other methods but this is my favourite way to do this - I find it works best for Tambour specifically, and lends itself well to the larger pieces I tend to work with.
Here's the blog post about how I made the frame in this video: www.katmakes.com/blog/2018/5/...

Another vote for a video on creating a frame!
Came here because I'm considering getting a slate frame, but I can't help but remark on the stunning shawl you're wearing!! Always love a rainbow gradient and leaf motifs
Yes,very interested in the creating/building process of the
Slate Frame.
I realize that I've just recently found this channel. But I just watched a CZcams short of Mona Patel from the Met Gala. I don't even know who she is exactly. But the dress she wore was said to be made with the help of an Indian embroidery house. It is stunning! I am trying to figure out if tambor embroidery was used in the process? The dress is exquisite. Just completely and utterly exquisite in every possible way. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
😊 Awesome video Kat! Always look forward to another tambour embroidery video from you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do still have at least a few more up my sleeve :)
Would love a video tutorial on how to make a frame:)
This was so informative! The frame was a huge mystery but now I feel like it's all cliquing!!
Another great video. I would absolutely watch a video about making your own slate frame!!! Love the content!
Thank you for this video! I reeeally needed this!! Such a great teacher 😊
Yes! I would love to eat your slate frame creation!
Thank you! I pan yo buy the lacis one on payday.
Loving your videos! Very informative and now I want to start cool embroidery projects like this! Is this organza? How do you prevent it from snagging?
Thanks so much for sharing. I am loving these vidoes. Is there a particular frame you can advise to purchase, for example on Amazon? I would be happy to purchase via an affiliate link.
The best part is Kitty 🐈
What kind of cat is that? I've never seen that colour.
she's an Abyssinian! her colour is called "Cinnamon" but tbh there's a bit of a range within that colour descriptor - her dad is cinnamon as well and he is a lot more orangey to her rusty browns!
There’s a cat! 😸😽😼
Two, even! They seem to take turns causing mischief though 🤣
Why
Is it called a slate frame, and is that the proper way to spell it?
I don't think we entirely know why it's called a slate frame! There are etched illustrations of embroiderers using them as far back as the middle ages, but the consensus on the name seems to be that it was named after the slates that children used in school before paper. And yes! That's the correct way to spell it!
How do we keep fabric on grain?
