Tambour embroidery is worked on embroidery fabric stretched tightly in a frame, which is then attached to a lap or floor stand to allow the embroiderer to use both hands. The fabric should have a large enough weave for the hooked needle to pass through without catching as it comes back through. Sometimes tulle fabric is used for this type of embroidery.

A variety of embroidery threads will work for this type of embroidery, but stranded threads can prove tricky.

Chain stitch embroidery using a tambour hook is worked from the top surface of the fabric, with the right side of the work, facing the embroiderer. However, when a tambour hook is used for beading and sequins, the beads are threaded onto the working thread and the design is worked from the back side, with the wrong side of the fabric marked and facing the embroiderer.

With either technique, the working thread is kept on the underside of the fabric.
