Each 4" × 6" reference card features a clear stitch diagram alongside space for your stitched sample, with detailed notes on stitch structure, ideal uses, and thread suggestions on the reverse.

While stitch diagrams teach you how to work a stitch, your stitched samples reveal its texture, coverage, scale, and character. As you build your library, you'll create a personalized reference that makes it easier to choose the right stitch for future projects.

Why Two Options?

To give stitchers greater flexibility, Volume 1 is available in two versions: With Canvas and Without Canvas. While ongoing canvas supply challenges within the needlepoint industry influenced this decision, our goal is to provide an option that works best for your stitching style. Whether you choose the convenience of an included hand-painted practice canvas or use your own canvas, you can begin building your personal stitch library with either option.

Why You'll Love It

Designed to help you build confidence and expand your stitch vocabulary, Volume 1 makes it easy to study, compare, and revisit stitches whenever you're planning a canvas or learning a new technique.

As you stitch each sample and attach it to its coordinating reference card, you'll create a personalized reference that's uniquely your own—reflecting the threads, textures, and techniques you enjoy using most.

Whether you're new to decorative stitches or looking to expand your stitch repertoire, Volume 1 provides a practical resource you'll reach for again and again.

Ways to Use Your Library

• Build a portable stitch library using the included binder ring
• Store your completed cards in a standard 4" × 6" photo album to create a lasting reference
• Attach an individual card to your canvas with a needle minder to keep the stitch diagram and notes close at hand while you work

Please Note

Thread is not included, allowing you to use threads from your own stash or discover new favorites as you build your personalized stitch library. Each reference card includes thread suggestions to help you get started while encouraging you to experiment and discover how different threads affect the look, texture, and coverage of each stitch.
