Couching
CAUTION
• When using yarn, we recommend selecting yarn of
weight 4 (MEDIUM ). Medium yarn is often referred
to as worsted weight, 20 knitted stitches per 10 cm, or 9-
11 wraps per inch. The diameter of the yarn is
approximately 2-3 mm (approx. 1/12-1/8 inch). If the
yarn is extremely thin or thick, has an unusual shape
(flat or furry), or more than 2 yarns, the best finishing
results may not be achieved, or injuries or damage may
result.
• Sew test stitches on the fabric before sewing
on your project.
• We recommend using a stabilizer material
when sewing stretch fabrics, lightweight
fabrics, fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics
which are prone to fabric shrinkage.
