This is my first needlepoint— my grandMIL introduced me/got me hooked!! I still have it in the frame atm and I think I want to hang it— I think it would be fun to have a point of reference of where I started ? where is a good place? LNS or a craft store or a framing website? Also any cc or encouragement is welcome, I didn’t really know what I was doing so I went with a bunch of stitches because I find that to be super fun!! submitted by /u/Extension-Listen8779 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi all, My girlfriend worked very hard on a 3d crab trap ornament / paperweight. It is basically a half cylinder 3d shape. She initially wanted to finish it herself and cut it, but we have decided to move in a different direction and are looking for anyone who can finish this already cut canvas. Please let me know if you have any advice, or can do this, thank you! submitted by /u/Arrowhead222-230 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So the correct answer is choose a better background stitch, yes, I know. ??‍♀️But I am not wanting to rip it all out at this point. Having it finished into a knife edge pillow. Is there any way to cover up these numbers? I tried stitching over but that looks really weird. Do I just ask finisher to not go that far down? Thanks all! submitted by /u/Striking_Bad3974 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Made this as a surprise gift for my girlfriend using her orts. Nothing crazy but I’m really happy with how it turned out! submitted by /u/MainManMorpheus [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I ran out of a dye lot and had to rip stitches, but I was in the car and cut the canvas. Ive not done that before and made a mess of trying to mend it. I’ve read how to repair it, but it looks awful! Any recommendations on how I make this look normal? I’m stitching a stocking topper, and I’m wondering if I could just stitch the name section and marry that to the bottom half? Would that cause any issues with finishing? submitted by /u/Awkward-Whale [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Complaining here to avoid the urge to complain to people in real life who may or may not care, lol. Had a stitch guide made for a beautiful Rebecca Wood stocking almost 2 years ago - life happened, got busy, didn't open it properly until recently. Found the guide disorganized and several threads missing. Contacted owner of the shop who apologized, said the lady who wrote the guide no longer worked there, and promptly sent out new threads for free and worked through all my questions with me. Great! Going through and actually organizing the threads now, though, and LOTS of the colors are wa ..read more

I thought I would have enough thread to stitch the entire background when I first started but I don’t. I could just buy more but I’m not sure how to make sure I get thread from the same dye lot. Not sure if it’s too late to turn this into a rectangle or square ornament? Help!! (PS: if anyone has any suggestions for what stitch I could use for the red fry container, I’d appreciate it!) submitted by /u/Tiny-Rabbit-7965 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m dating a guy who’s really into Dead & Co. so I got this adorable canvas to stitch! I’d like to finish it into a gift but I have no idea what I could possibly turn it into that would be useful for a guy. A Christmas ornament wouldn’t really be great for him—I was thinking of maybe turning it into a patch and having it sewn onto a jacket or something. But maybe there’s someone out there who’s more creative than I am who has a better idea? submitted by /u/itsmesaralee [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
