Couching

Couching - Sewing a decorative cord, thread, or yarn to the surface of the Fabric by zigzagging over the cord with machine or overcastting by hand.

Embellishing quilts has become increasingly popular and Karen J. came up with a way for us to build a stash of couching yarns at the last meeting.  

Well, the exchange went very well and there were some beautiful threads brought.   Can't wait to see what we can come up with!  

For anyone not too sure what this craze is all about - here are a few websites that may help you out.
