Volume 1 - Needlepoint Stitch Reference Library

Overview

Volume I introduces a foundational collection of decorative needlepoint stitches, thoughtfully organized into a portable reference system. 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.

Why You'll Love It

Designed to help you build confidence and expand your stitch vocabulary, Volume I makes it easy to study, compare, and revisit stitches whenever you're planning a canvas or learning a new technique. As your collection grows, you'll create a personalized stitch reference you'll return to again and again.

If you choose the Full Kit, the included hand-painted sampler canvas provides dedicated practice squares so you can see how each stitch develops before incorporating it into future projects.

Whether you're new to decorative stitches or looking to build a dependable reference, Volume I provides an excellent foundation for your personal stitch library.

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.

Why Two Formats?

To give stitchers greater flexibility—and in response to ongoing canvas supply challenges within the needlepoint industry—Volume I is offered in both a Full Kit and a Card Collection. Whether you prefer the convenience of an included hand-painted practice canvas or enjoy stitching on your own canvas, you can begin building your personal stitch library with either option.

Full Kit Includes

• Hand-painted practice canvas with nine 1.5" stitching squares
• 9 stitch reference cards
• 9 protective sleeves
• Binder ring for organization

Reference Card Collection Includes:

• 9 stitch reference cards
• 9 protective sleeves
• Binder ring for organization

Please Note: Thread is not included, giving you the freedom to explore the threads already in your stash—or discover new favorites—as you build a personalized stitch library. Each reference card includes thread suggestions to help you get started, while leaving plenty of room to experiment and discover how different threads influence the look, texture, and coverage of each stitch.
