Couching Threads – Metallic

The couching threads can be used for couching down other metal threads such as Check Thread, Flatworm, Japan Thread, Large Back Passing Thread, Rococco and Starndard Lurex Thread.

They can also be used in combination with other embroidery threads for surface embroidery, counted thread embroidery, weaving and lace making to add sparkle.

The threads are synthetic with a metallic look and will not tarnish.

Crochet Cotton for Padding

A soft cotton thread (Bernat crochet cotton) is used to pad narrow areas on goldwork designs such as leaves, stems and branches.

The crochet cotton should be waxed first with beeswax so that it is coated and stiff and can be sewn down single or in bundles of two, three or more strands, sewing down the strands with a single strand of polyester sewing thread.

Metal threads such as purls, bullions and Japan threads can be sewn over the crochet cotton padding raising the threads and giving the embroidery a dimensional effect.
