Italian term

Doppio bourdon a contrasto

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Bedding
This is from a description of bedding, for pillows for an Italian company.

" 2 federe in puro cotton con doppio bourdon a constrasto"

I'm not really sure what bourdon means in this context. I've found some instances where it is simply not translated and others where it seems to be 2 lines of stitching around the edge. If anyone could clarify, I would appreciate it.
Proposed translations (English)

bourdon would seem to be a type of raised embroidery stitch (sometimes called satin stitch)
