About Trellis Couching
This stitch might not seem very different from the Jacobean Couching. However, there is a slight difference. The pattern is filled the same way, but with the difference that we make vertical stitches to couch it down rather than crosses. So, the pattern must be laid with threads in a way that allows for a vertical stitch for couching.
How to do Trellis Couching

 |
| Fig 1: Lay Straight Stitches from one end of the circle to the other as shown in the illustration. There is no need to weave the stitches up and down the other while doing so. | Fig 2: Now, we start couching the intersections. So, come out from the top corner of each intersection and go in through the bottom corner. That makes a small vertical stitch to hold down the threads at the intersections. |
