A tambour frame is a rectangular embroidery frame on which cloth is stretched before being stitched with a tambour hook. In Europe, embroiderers also made use of round tambour hoops for stretching and tensioning the cloth, while in India, Iran and parts of Asia, the rectangular tambour frame has always been preferred.
