Does anyone have a trick for how to best stitch a Herend pattern? What stitches work best or angles… all advice appreciated! submitted by /u/North_Catch_9624 [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

When I started this sub <<mumbles>> years ago, it was made clear to me that Bargello was, most assuredly, not needlepoint as we see it in this sub. Others, however, state that bargello is just another type of needlepoint stitch. As such we've kept bargello off of this sub and gently shuffled it to its own sub. I thought I'd put this to a vote and see where the community stands on the whole bargello topic. As always, your thoughts are well appreciated! Note: I'm also the mod for r/Bargello not just randomly trying to take over another subs people. LOL. View Poll submitted by /u/Ne ..read more

I fell down an eBay hole. Jiffy needlepoint kits were such fun. A nostalgic stitch. Rather like paint by number without the mess. It was perfect for stitching on the porch or deck. It’s from a series, Harold is next! Nice to have a finish in just a couple of days! submitted by /u/Beaniebot [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

No markings on the canvases thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Melodic_Twist_7315 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Some of the charts in these are a bit hard to see, like the colors are so filled in over the grid that I can’t really see the black lines, but other than that these images and charts are soooo lovely. I definitely see that white unicorn pillow in my future. I got these from Thriftbooks for $15 total, which I think is pretty good. submitted by /u/FusRoDaahh [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I feel like there’s been an influx of “influencers” in the needlepoint world. They’re making a lot of reels, getting PR packages, becoming designers - pretty much doing everything, but actually stitching. What are your thoughts? I don’t know anything about them for them to influence me on anything. submitted by /u/OKstitcher79 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
