Couching Ric-Rack

A short tutorial on wrapping vintage baby rick-rack with stitching, also known as couching. I'm using 3 strands of DMC floss, but you can use whatever you prefer. Pearl cotton works well too.
Want to learn how to make a vintage pincushion like the one shown in the video? You can purchase my 1 hour and 20 minute, pre-recorded video in this link. It's $40 and you'll own it forever. You can jump to any segment and re-watch at any time. There is also a private Facebook group you'll be invited to join once you have purchased. That link is in the first segment.

So creative! I love the Rick rack tips. Beautiful needle keepers and pincushion!🌸

That's darling!

Thank you for talking instead of just music with no explanation. I have not hear the term wrapping and thought you meant wrapping it over the edge and hiding the cut edge. Now, couching, I understand.

[@KellyClineQuilting]

Wrapping, seemed the natural thing to call it, but guess the proper term would be couching. ;)

Love this. Thank you.

Thanks, Kelly! I have a few cards of baby vintage rick rack but had not used any yet. Now my head is spinning with a few ideas. And isn't that what you love to do? Get us inspired?

[@KellyClineQuilting]

Thanks!! Inspiration is the name of the game!!

[@paulaneu8303]

Did you stitch the rick rack down first?

[@KellyClineQuilting]

Hi Paula, forgot to mention that! Just a small bit of Elmers glue, heat set that, then stitch. Just enough to keep it in place!

@@KellyClineQuilting thank you, I was thinking of doing that.
