I believe it is where you lay the thread down where you want it, it is usually a thicker thread like yarn. Then you sew across it with evenly spaced stitches to hold it down. Hope this helps, I can do it, just not really explain it. Come on over and will show you how, LOL.

Go to the top of the newsletter and hit SEARCH. Type in couching. Information on couching as well as a video is available. This techinque does add depth to a piece of cross stitch. Good Luck. Lois
