Brick Stitch Couching
Schematic drawing of brick stitch couching.
Drawing by Martin Hense.
Brick stitch couching is a variation on couching, whereby a brick stitch is used to fasten down the laid threads rather than using other forms of stitches. This type of stitch is used for free-style embroidery. It is also associated with North African and Middle Eastern embroidery.
