You paint the design on the fabric in permanent ink and maintain a cartoon 
off to the side.  Then when you have the gold all couched down (or at least 
the section you're going to work on next) you can peek in between the 
couching threads to find the outline of your pattern, and you can refer to 
the cartoon for more precise information.  There is a nice picture of a 
piece in progress in "The Art of the Embroiderer" - I don't have the book 
here but can find the page if you like.

How do you get the design on so that you can follow using the couching
stitches????
