MODULE 1 • Tambour Table & Frame
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | We begin this lesson with our frame table. It has three parts so that you open and close it. It is also important that the table is the height of a regular table so that as you put your frame on the top you are in a comfortable position. |
| 2A | There are four pieces that make up the frame. One for each of the four sides. Two short and two long. |
| 2B | We are going to stretch our fabric over the frames and we will start with the two long frame pieces. |
