Here's what merriam webster says:
Etymology: Middle English, from gerund of couchen
: a style of embroidery in which a flat or raised design is made by laid threads or cords fastened down by small stitches at regular intervals.
I have searched just about everywhere and have not been able to come up with this word, which I need very much!
Thanks for any help rendered... |

| Grading comment Thanks to all who responded on this as I appreciate your time and efforts. I think this term is probably the closest to couching (although for some reason I couldn't get into the website suggested, but will try again). Since the entire book is about embroidery I need a more specific term for this specific kind of stitching. Thanks again!
