Couching / Couch Stitch

Couching / Couch Stitch
Couching or Couch Stitch is a basic stitch in embroidery. We can use this stitch as a straight line, curves, free hand patterns. I would call this stitch as a begginer's stitch. Gendrally we use two different / contrast colours of threads. But if you wish you can use same colour of threads.



Things needed are:
1. Fabric
2. Needle's - 2 nos
3. 2 different colours of threads
4. Hoops

Steps and instructions:
# Draw a pattern or design.

# Put a knot in the thread...take the needle under the fabric...which is the laid thread or we can call it as surface thread.

# We need to put a knot in another thread or contrast colour thread .... which is our working thread...take the working thread above the laid thread to form the couch stitch.






# Once you finish couching, bring the needle below the fabric and put a knot.

We can do number of variations in couching. Today I am sharing a basic or simply couch stitch. Hope you all like it!
