The beauty of couching is that you can choose anything for the base thread cord, embroidery floss, metallic threads, jute braids, bead chains, sequin chains, wool yarn, and zardosi thread.
You can use satin stitch as a filling stitch for small areas, weave stitch for medium, chevron stitch for large elements, and even knots and line stitches for additional design and texture.
