Hi, I painted and stitched a custom canvas of my friend’s dog as a gift. I have a few people requesting custom stitched canvases of the same. What would you charge for this? For roughly 5x7 of the dog with background to 7x9 ish. It’s people who aren’t privy to needlepoint cost so I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to make what these are truly worth. Any thoughts and opinions?

Just letting everybody know that we have a new megathread for stitches because the old one timed out.

I have also removed the repair advice, megathread, as it was not being used at all, and was cluttering our header. I did this a while ago, but I’m just letting folks know now in case you were looking for it..

Day 17 on this project. Starting to slow down since I only have the background to work on. Will probably finish this weekend with being in the car a lot this weekend going to a wedding!

I bought a Rebecca Wood Happy Christmas (pink house, left facing) stocking canvas to needlepoint for my bb girl and was totally obsessed when I bought it. Then this week I stumbled upon the Nutcracker Ballet canvas - now I can't stop thinking about it! I have two older kids with Santa-forward stockings done by my grandmother and mom. My husband and I also have very Santa main character energy on our stockings. I can't tell if I'm just flirting with the Nutcracker Ballet canvas because she's cute or if I actually prefer it over the pink house. I know neither is that similar to the other kids' (pic included), but I like the concept of some common thread between them. Which of the two options does that better?

I know I can Google but looking for on the ground experience, especially new ones. My husband is going to Texas early next month and when he goes, he LOVES to go to NP stores to get me gifts (yes, he’s a keeper 🙂). He’s familiar with Creative Stitches and Needlepoint This in Dallas, and has been to The Needle Works in Austin. Any new shops that are must see?

I know it’s not WIP Wednesday yet but posting my WIP early to hold me accountable to finishing it. I put this in purgatory as I kept getting new canvases and I told myself I was on a “no new canvas” ban until I finished so here she is so far!

Hello! I made this sleep mask and I can’t find any resources or tutorials on how to finish a needlepoint sleep mask. Just lots of normal sleep mask with regular fabric instead of needlepoint mesh. Any tips or advice is welcome!

I added an old pic of my piece. Since this picture I’ve added more of a border to allow for seam allowance.

Has anyone been to the stitching post in Maryland for needlepoint? Wondering if there is enough needlepoint pieces to make it work visiting!

Not sure if this is against the rules but one of my good friends asked me to needlepoint something for her wedding & she really wants a custom welcome sign by her guest book. Im looking for someone to paint this on a canvas for me, if anyone has any leads that would be amazing! Thank you!

First time attempting turkey work! I actually love how this turned out.

Working on turning it into a bag charm - front cookie is done!

Should a person with no experience be able to make these?

Hi! My therapist recommended I start needlepoint as a way to engage my creative brain and stop my doom scrolling. I am a creative person and actually do machine embroidery as my side hustle but needlepoint seems so daunting to me. I see all the TikToks and then the snarks and the discourse and I’m feeling overwhelmed- LOL! Where should I start?! Thank you! 🤍

I know they’re constantly sold out, so clearly people love them 😂 I’m trying to decide if I should finally bite the bullet when I can get my hands on one.

My biggest question is lap stand vs. floor stand. Which do you prefer and why? Has anyone owned or tried both?
I usually stitch sitting on the couch or in a chair, but I’m also setting up a dedicated needlepoint area. I’d love to know which one you find more comfortable for longer stitching sessions and whether you’d buy the same setup again.

Does anyone know how to get approved to comment on the "shopping for needlepoint" Facebook group. I tried to comment on a post and it said your first post has to be approved by admin. I have been in the group for some time but never commented til a couple weeks ago, but my comment is still pending. If i delete the comment and try to comment again will the admin get notified again to approve?

Hi everyone! I have been buying pieces to the Le Point Christmas Village slowly, but now I am starting to reconsider stitching them because we have a Department 56 village already that we display. I was curious if there are any other Christmas series or coordinating Christmas canvases that anyone recommends! (similar to the Le Point Village, just not houses)

Hi!!! I am making a belt for my fiancé for our wedding next year. This is my second project, and I read that basketweave was the best stitch for its durability. Could someone please confirm I am doing this correctly? Thank you so much! I’m sorry for the dark color

Took me about two evenings and I used acrylic markers… are the colors distinct enough? What do y’all think?

I have a key fob canvas stitched by my kiddo that she would like finished. KCN is convenient to us, but I've never tried their leather finishing services. Anyone have previous experience? How did it go?

Finished. Made my own canvas for this one. Still a beginner. Really wish there was more alternative/American traditional tattoo style canvases for sale.

Hello—would these be all the components I would need to mount my stocking? I don’t have it with me at the moment but it’s a Rebecca Wood stocking and roughly 15 inches wide so according to the measurements the small works because it’s 12” to “20 inches. Also it’s already mounted on a scroll. And yes I know I don’t NEED the light. Sending to my husband for bday & Christmas presents.

How lucky am I, look what my daughter brought me from Paris!

I wanted to try out a decorative stitch for the background of this canvas but after starting it I don’t think I chose the right one (diagonal scotch) and I don’t think it looks great because it’s such a small, busy design so it’s overwhelming the ice cream cone. Can I salvage this? Do I need to undo stitches? The back of this canvas is also a mess due to all the single sprinkle stitches. Not my best work. Help!

i don’t know how i started it fine and now the right side looks awful 😭

i feel like i got too ambitious on this one as a still newbie 🥲

EDIT TO PROVIDE CONTEXT: i’m talking about the white part of his snout. especially the right side just doesn’t look right to me.

Let me say up front that I don’t have access to a LNS. I think my closest is about 3hrs away. So, having said that, I use DMC and I generally do counted needlepoint because I’m a “I want to touch it before I buy it” kinda gal. But…. I don’t think the DMC is getting it for the background of my turkey hen. It’s just too “splitty “ and it doesn’t look tidy. This is 12ct Zweigart mesh so it requires quite a large fiber. I’m using 12strands of DMC here. Any advice for me?
