Anita of artisticfingers has put together a series of tutorials on Aari embroidery, also known as tambour work. If you’d like to know more about this technique, which uses a tiny hook to pull loops of thread to the fabric’s surface, go to Anita’s blog and click the link to Aari embroidery in the navigation bar in the right-hand column.
Many thanks to Ina of Let’s Learn Embroidery for pointing out Anita’s series.
Thanks a lot!
Anita.

Hi Raji,
Thanks for the tutorial.. I started with a small work on a silk cloth that comes with Saree.. however when I finish a stitch I see small holes in the cloth.. obviously I need to pull the thread out.. not sure if I am exerting more pressure or it is the material of the cloth. Can you help me with a solution please.. Thanks
