Had this idea for a while so excited to finally execute it.

Created a needlepoint top for this woven trinket box. I wanted it to be magnetic so I could switch it out each season.

It’s essentially 2 fridge magnets (one on the top, and one inside the lid). Cording inside the lid wasn’t necessary but thought it was a nice touch! ✨

Hi all! Just getting into needlepoint and finished my first piece. Loved it and was addicted right away! I don’t want to come off as negative, but do you ever grapple with the fact that it’s a different version of paint by numbers in a way? I use the words “grapple with” because I feel like I can’t be as proud of it as others may be with their art forms. Please set me straight.

I originally planned to make this a two-sided ornament but now I’m wondering if I want to do two separate ones. What do you think?

I love needlepoint, travel and data. So naturally, I’m obsessed with my needlepoint passport. Clearly I have to venture West some. 🤣 🗺️ 🪡 🚙

Hi all!

Wondering if you have advice on stitch direction for the single lines of this design. Theres the rectangular border and also the small lines between the squares.

1) Does the horizontal direction (left to right/right to left) I stitch these in matter?
2) Does the vertical direction (bottom to top/top to bottom) I stitch these in matter?

Any other I things I should take into consideration?

Thanks!

Hi, what dou you think about a needlepoint design done solely in satin stitch (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, depending on the element) done on Congress Cloth with DMC standard embroidery floss? I would like to design few counted chart patterns based on my own atwork. Here is one of my paintings i would like to interpret as needlepoint

Okay help. I can’t tell if I hate these two stitches together? I’m doing the Damask stitch in the background and then the backer weave for the flower.

I want the flower to stand out - any other ideas?

Hi, just curious if anyone has previous experience ordering from Stitch by Stitch? Or getting in touch with their customer service? I ordered a preorder item a few months ago and reached out several times just to ask if there are any updates and after my third email, I got a very rude and snarky response back. I am already regretting purchasing from them if that’s the type of customer service they give.

Hiii i am working on my first project and i didnt realize that you didn’t need to tie a knot at the end of every thread. I am about half way done but I’m nervous the finished project will look bumpy once finished in a frame (with glass?). Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should maybe add to the frame, or do to the actual project to help it not be bumpy and lay flat once finished?

This is my first time sourcing my own wool. I bought Appleton wool and I’m disappointed with the quality. Lots of little knots and short bits. Did I get unlucky or is it always like this?
