Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery worked on stiff open-weave canvas using a blunt tapestry needle and decorative threads. Unlike cross-stitch, needlepoint uses tent and basketweave stitches to cover the entire canvas surface, creating durable, textured pieces that can be finished into pillows, ornaments, belts, and more.

How long does needlepoint finishing take?

Professional needlepoint finishing typically takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the finisher's workload and the complexity of the project. Finishing transforms your completed stitched canvas into a polished final product like a pillow, ornament, or framed piece. Macon Needlepoint Co. coordinates finishing with trusted out-of-state artisans.

What supplies do I need to start needlepoint?

To start needlepoint, you need a hand-painted or printed canvas (13 mesh is standard for beginners), a blunt tapestry needle, threads (popular brands include Silk & Ivory, Vineyard Silk, and DMC), and stretcher bars or a scroll frame to hold the canvas taut. Macon Needlepoint Co. offers beginner-friendly kits and classes to help new stitchers get started.
