this video is a lifesaver, i couldn't make sense of how the couching stitch works just from the diagram in the little instruction book that came with the embroidery kit i bought

[@doctorspockable]

Neither! So confusing 🤣

[@kidsmin2320]

Same lol

[@beautifulthings5287]

Thank you sooo much for ur simple and wonderful explanations u give. I learned a lot from u coz am really eager to know everything about this art and am sure u will make it easier for me thanks to your videos which are short but to the point. My best regards❤️

[@summerlavey6091]

Omg thank you!! I was watching a video that was just someone doing this stitch and I couldn't understand the sorcery of it. Makes so much more sense it's two different strands

[@private4043]

Went to this random video to say: "THANK YOU FOR THE LAZY DAISY STITCH TUTORIAL!!"

[@addymaddy8863]

Ummm u no that this is the couching stitch right?

[@nateshattuck1512]

Thanks!

[@EverybodyFrytki]

Thank you!

[@x3777]

Thanks!!

[@richy1993]

Silly question but the tacking threading, at the end do you just tie it off underneath with a knot or do you do something more specific?

[@christow7989]

So... I can use this stitch to put 550 cord with leather using micro cord as thread. As well as to use 550 cord as thread in other larger 550 cord projects. Thank you very much. There are many more things I can make now

[@af1067]

So you don't go back through the same hole it is in a new hole when doing the secure stitching?

[@AnonYmous-bm2zg]

Yes

[@MinReyLin]

I wonder why they call it the couching stitch rather than the tack-down stitch?

[@user-bf5du7iq9i]

If your making a straight line couldnt you take that first thread and just Have it up through the fabric where you start and have it back down through the beginning all at the start instead of up through at the beginning and then have that secong strand do the stich THEN put that first stitch through? Sorry if that make no sense

[@CutesyCrafts]

Yes, that could work for a straight line. Curves would be harder though.

[@caradowdle6645]

What would you need to do a couch stitch for?

[@CutesyCrafts]

It's just another option for a different type of line. It especially gives a different look if you use two different colors.

[@barefacedquestions]

Hi. Is the first thread attached to a needle?

[@CutesyCrafts]

I leave it attached and use two needles since you have to bring it up on one side and down at the other. Technically, you could thread the needle for the first strand, bring the needle up, take the needle off to use on the second strand, and then put it back on the first strand for the final step.
