Re: What kind of embroidery is this?
Just thought I'd jump in, even if a little late...
This is probably hand done, but it is a variation of cording. Basically a cord is fed through as it is sewn down.
With a multihead machine the cord is fed from a drum via an attachment at one of the end needles and stitched down the centre of the cord. Doing it by hand and you can often choose the type of retaining stitch (i.e. straight, zig-zag, etc.)
It requires very specific instructions for digitizing as you can't have two stitches on the same spot. For obvious reasons the stitches are all equal length and the machine is limited as to the complexity, depending upon the weight and type of cord used, although the machine manufacturers will provide the limitations as to what that can be.
