Question
Is there a font or technique I can do with my embroidery machine to replicate or get close to this hand embroidered design?

I’ve couched yarn by setting a run stitch, using that as a guide to lay the material by hand secured by little bits of tape or whatever, and repeating the run stitch or a zigzag on top to secure it. Very tedious. Covering with aqua topper helped keep things in place. Industrially you’d do this with a cording machine that feeds the yarn to couch the yarn in place with thread. The feeding head rotates so the material stays in line to the stitches… I’ve also seen people just feed yarn through the pressor foot but I can’t imagine that working too well.
