Need the Right Tool for Practice?

To get started with this technique, you’ll need a proper Luneville hook — also known as a tambour hook

Many mass-produced versions don’t hold the needle securely, which is why I now stock a small range of EU-made tambour hooks with ash wood handles and brass fittings — the same ones I use in my studio.

FAQ section

Need More Info Before You Join?

Wondering if this course is right for you? Here are answers to the most common questions people ask before joining.

What if I’m not sure it’s for me?

If you’re still unsure, try starting with my Intro to Luneville Embroidery course. It’s part of the bundle until the end of April — and you’ll know pretty quickly whether this is your kind of work.

Is this for beginners? Or more advanced people?

This course is for beginners to Luneville, not beginners to embroidery overall. If you’ve stitched before — even with thread and needle — you’ll be able to follow along. It’s detailed, but it’s structured.

What happens after I buy?

You get instant access to all lessons and downloads, and an invite to the private student space where you can ask questions, share progress, or just peek in when you need support.

How long does the project take?

There’s no deadline. Some people work on it over several weekends, others take longer. The design is broken into clear stages, so you can move at your own pace without getting stuck.

What if I don’t have all the tools yet?

You’ll get a full materials list inside the course, along with tips for sourcing and substitutes. If you're stuck, you can ask in the student community and I’ll personally help guide you.

Will I be able to use what I learn in other projects?

Yes. You’ll be learning core Luneville techniques that can be reused for florals, trims, textures, or custom embellishments on garments, bags, or art pieces.

Do I have to make it exactly like yours?

Not at all. You’ll get the full pattern and guidance, but there’s room to experiment with colour, material, and how you apply the finished piece (garment, artwork, etc.).

Do I need any experience with Luneville embroidery?

Yes—it helps a lot if you already understand the basics.
This course is not for total beginners. It’s designed for people who’ve either tried Luneville before or are willing to start learning it properly.

If you’ve never used a tambour hook, you’ll get free access to my Intro to Luneville Embroidery course when you enrol (only during April). That way, you can build the foundation first—then come back to Couture Camellias with confidence.
