Question
Hello.  I am working on a Janlynn kit, Asian Sampler, & I seem to be stuck with a few of the techniques.  One portion of the design seems to use a Brighton Stitch, but I cannot be sure (the guide is not very clear) & my try doesn't look like the picture, even though the picture is small.  Another part of the design, Detail Chart 4, uses a Couching Stitch, but I cannot tell where in the design the stitch is used, or how to make it.  Any help with this specific kit would be great!

Answer
Hello, Andrea :)

Here is the website for making a couching stitch:

I've taken a look at the Janlynn website to see what you're stitching.  That's lovely, and it's going to be absolutely gorgeous when you're done. :)

I hope that the above links will help you in creating your masterpiece. :)  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
