Bunched Couching Stitch is a decorative hand embroidery technique that is used to add texture and dimension to a piece of embroidery. It involves couching down a bundle of threads onto the surface of the fabric using small stitches.
To work the bunched couching stitch, you will need to first gather a bundle of threads, this can be done by wrapping a length of thread around a piece of card or paper, then cutting along one edge of the bundle to release the threads. Next, bring the needle up through the fabric at the starting point of the design and lay the bundle of threads across the fabric. Hold the bundle in place with your fingers and take the needle down through the fabric a short distance away, then bring it back up again and take it down again in the same hole as the first stitch. Repeat this process, working small stitches over the bundle of threads to secure them in place.
Bunched couching stitch can be worked in a variety of ways, it can be worked with different types of threads, different thicknesses of threads, different colors of threads, it can be worked in different directions and it can be worked in different shapes.
It's a great technique for adding texture and dimension to a piece, it can be used to create interesting backgrounds, to create textured designs or to add interest to a piece. The bunched couching stitch can be used in combination with other stitches to create intricate and beautiful designs.
