There isn’t much in the world that can’t be improved, needlepoint included. Everyone has to balance scarce resources (time, money, space, skill) with our desires to find out what works for us.
Even so there are things we’d like to see.
So that’s the theme for the November giveaway — what do you want?
Let me know in the comments section what things can be improved, what products you’d like to see, what things you’d like to learn. I’d love to know what you want from a stitch guide, what, as a beginner, you would like to see.
So have at it, the more ideas you have the better.
There will be five winners of thread with a free pattern and one grand prize winner who will get a copy of Needlepoint Trade Secrets, my first book.
No related posts.
I’d love threads that don’t kink, a floor stand that stays tight, a local needlepoint shop and MORE TIME.
All in all, the needlepoint world is great as far as I’m concerned – it gives me hours of pleasure, gifts for friends and family. And the internet has brought the stitching community right to my door! How lucky am I?

How about: how to compose a piece – placement and size of main object/theme, suitable backgrounds, etc.
Thanks!

I am a newbie, I would love more Bargello designs, maybe a pillow stitch a long, maybe every Monday we could download a weeks assignment. Also color options Tutorials, I need help making color choices, making them POP! I’m so glad I found this site
I would like there to be less intimidation regarding needlepoint and more acceptance of everyone’s stitching level. I work part time at a shop where I am constantly helping new stitchers, who are literally “shell shocked” because they want so much to stitch, but somewhere along the way, a very uptight needlepointer has gotten hold of them and made them think that they are not a good stitcher, or not accomplished enough to tackle the project they want to do. Piffle, I say. I want anyone and everyone to be encouraged to stitch, and I want those that are so very accomplished, to be open minded and have it be ok when someone does a stitch a different way, or accomplishes a stitch in a “less than perfect” manner, but does accomplish it. By being accepting and patient and assuring a new or returning stitcher, that there are really no rules, and that they can learn anything, I have created some incredible stitchers, that continue to stitch more, who were very intimidated at first.
