Romanian couching

Romanian couching To work Romanian couching, a straight stitch is made across the ground material and the needle and thread re-emerge to stitch the long thread down on the return journey (see diagram). The oversewing stitches are long, and placed close to the main yarn. See also Bokhara couching.
