Needlpoint Techniques

Carolyn McNeil enlightens us with the differences between needlepoint creations in the following article: “What is Needlepoint?” http://www.patternmart.com/article/What+Is+Needlepoint__q__. In the article, Carolyn discusses tapestry and different embroidery terms that you may find helpful.

Carolyn also explains the five basic needlepoint stitches in the following article: http://www.patternmart.com/article/The+Five+Basic+Types+of+Needlepoint+Stitches
Combining these stitches on canvas can make a very attractive finished piece.

Many people enjoy needlepoint as it can be done almost anywhere and any time. Most stitches are easily learned and the work piece itself can be easily toted to the doctor’s office, on the plane, in front of the TV and many more places.
