Needlepoint is a timeless form of embroidery where thread is stitched through a canvas to create intricate and decorative designs. The canvas, often made from durable materials like mono or interlock canvas, is typically hand-painted with a pattern or design crafted by a talented designer.

This art form allows for endless creativity, offering stitchers the opportunity to personalize each piece with unique threads, colors, and textures. Needlepoint is celebrated for its versatility, with projects ranging from ornaments and pillows to wall art and heirlooms passed down through generations.

Hand painted canvases remain the industry standard for various reasons, chief among them that canvases printed by machines provide a frustrating experience for the stitcher.
