Couching embroidery (tahriri)

التطريز التحريري

Couching, tahriri, draws winding, cord-like lines on the cloth, so that floral and figurative motifs curve freely rather than following the counted squares of cross-stitch. It is the renowned technique of the Bethlehem and Hebron areas; in Bethlehem it was often worked in gold or silver thread, adorning dresses and velvet jackets with rich floral motifs and medallions.
