Couching Stitch Surface Rhythm Visual

Inputs: [couched-thread artwork], [detail photo], [thread colors]. Study a couched thread attached by smaller crossing stitches. Distinguish the laid thread from the holding stitches, preserve their observed spacing, and avoid inventing hidden stitch paths or historical origins. Produce a macro textile illustration preserving the main thread curve and crossing stitch locations. Adapt the presentation to [audience] and [tone]. End with a concrete check of the defining task detail against the inputs.

Use the attached references only for the specified visual attributes. If a required reference is missing, request it before generation. Produce one finished image with a deliberate focal point, consistent geometry and clean margins. Keep any exact wording on a separate editable label layer or leave its area blank. Do not invent evidence or present an illustration as documentary proof.
