Anotations

Scope note:

Tools used for bead or French embroidery beading, as well as decorative chain stitch embroidery called tambour embroidery. These have a small, bent tip similar to a crochet hook or rug hooking tool. The hook catches the thread on the backside of the fabric, pulling it to the front side to create loops or attach beads or sequins.
