Anita of artistic fingers 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.
Aari embroidery is one of the many forms of embroidery, that originated in the Mughal era. Aari work is a type of embroidery work that is done by stretching the fabric tightly over a wooden frame. A pen-like needle, that resembles a crochet needle is used to do the intrinsic Aari work.
Aari Hand Embroidery Work is one of the famous embroidery art forms that you can see in designer clothes and appliques worldwide.

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
