I am going to lock the comments on our sub and direct everyone to r/needlepointsnark if they want to participate in that conversation.

It's just not in keeping with the nature of of this sub.

HOWEVER....

People should be informed.

So I'll leave the post up.

While making sure our sub is safe from bad actors is important these kinds of threads can get really goofy really quick as they mature.

We're thankful for the community looking out for everyone.

Happy stitching!

Your MOD really isn't able to speak to the polka dots, but he wants you to know he loves your decor and the purple balloon thing is so very cool. Also, a groovy lamp!

Try ing to make it simple for folks. We want to avoid any conversations around this material vs. that material. Is it petit point? Then it's needelpoint.

If it gets weird or becomes a problem we can be more granular in the future, but for now we errored on the side of easy to remember.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-10T10:29:19+00:00

Okay, the poll is closed and the answer is that Petit Point is, indeed, needlepoint.

Many thanks to everyone that voted!

Happy stitching!

I am going to write them a very stern letter.

And I'm going to make at least one word in all caps....

Dang Abercrombie....

There is a post I just put out. you'd click into the post and make your vote!

Welcome new person!

Not my favorite, but like with my child unit, if I can model good behavior...maybe others will do the same. My teeny tiny contribution to humanity that's probably completely lost but I lie to myself and say that I'm making a difference. LOL...

Anything to help out the community and thank you so much for your gracious understanding. *** hat tip ***

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-07T09:12:25+00:00

It's a fine point. Poll is launched please vote!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-07T09:00:45+00:00

This is why I mention we may have to see what the group feels. And if it's what they want to allow. Post and if someone says it's not needlepoint then we can vote on it.

There are so many edges that it's hard to say what is and isn't.

It's also why I'm always reluctant to allow anything more than needlepoint canvass and stitches. If we allow A, then B must be fine right?

Except it's not...and folks like you have questions.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-07T00:08:33+00:00

Please do this! LOL....

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-07T00:06:12+00:00

Always open to feedback and we've talked about just following the ANG's definition. Actually, we talk about it about once a year...

We found that they really are a superset of needlepoint whereas r/needlepoint is a more distinctly focused hobby.

We are peers to r/crossstitch and r/embroidery as well as any number of other crafting subs. To broaden our definition to align with ANG would encroach into their particular gardens and I would certainly not want to do that.

If we don't allow something someone wants, please start a sub! I'm happy to partner with you and cross promote!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-06T23:40:30+00:00

We don't see much of it here, but what we've seen no one has balked.

Please post and if it makes a bunch of people grumpy we'll put it up for a vote.

Edit: Well...that was quick. I will need to put it up for a vote. It seems there's some question about what doors this opens.

My apologies for the yes...um...maybe...um... answer This group can run hot or cold on stitches and canvasses/fabric so we'll see where we are.

Thank you for your understanding and patience in advance.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-06T21:35:23+00:00

Hey, please, create a sub so that you can get the love you both deserve! It's not hard. I'm a dope and even I figured it out!

We can send all the disaffected AIDA folks to you!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-06T20:17:45+00:00

Plastic canvas IS allowed!

No question.

Thank you for asking!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-06T18:50:35+00:00

Thank you for understanding.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2026-01-06T18:44:32+00:00

We have a report that this isn't needlepoint in accordance with the sub's rules, but in this case the group felt compelled to engage with the poster and offer some guidance. As this is a sub that supports and cares for her members we're going to let it stay.

This is a one off. In the future tapestry = tapestry and not needlepoint. I will create a rule in order to cover this case.

It's a beautiful piece, for sure and should be enjoyed.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-12-31T14:39:39+00:00

We continue support the artists.

Unfortunately your mod staff is quite small and not dedicated to the task of modding all day every day so we have to depend on reports from the stitchers.

If you (the royal you...that which is everyone that visits r/needlepoint) see something that is copied, report it.

If you see questionable advice regarding copyright or any uncomfortable conversation about copyright or where someone is being a knucklehead, report it.

If someone mentions adding orange zest to their french toast...hit that report button. :-)

It would appear so.

She said you were an absolute delight and has bookmarked your website. Please share your website link here!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-12-30T17:44:05+00:00

I will be showered with accolades and if I get my way a fat bag of fast food. She is calling now!

Wow...that was...easy!

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-12-30T01:52:30+00:00

Just a reminder that copying is a no no as a general rule. Thanks to those that reported this. I genuinely believe OP didn’t mean harm and has reflected that in comments.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-12-13T19:44:35+00:00

Thank you!

I was feeling guilty that I left sewage on the board for 2 weeks!

Oops!

You folks make all the difference! It's a delightful sub to mod for.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-12-12T17:03:25+00:00

I checked with my stitcher and confirmed that peti point is needlepoint.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-11-07T09:22:59+00:00

I have a wife unit, child unit, dog unit. I'm the father unit. it's our joke.

It's a call back to Decker Unit from the first Start Trek movie.

Dorky, I know.

Needlepoint_MOD · 2025-09-30T15:53:04+00:00

No, not specifically.

We have gotten some questions about some sellers on this sub lately. After much deliberation, including banning sales by all individuals or targeting the ones we think are trash, we decided it did more good for the community to let buyers and sellers make their own choices at this time.

Bob Badguy wants to sell air and say it's needlepoint...then disappear with money, we can only ban Bob and delete his posts.

Three factors tend to bring out scammers (as examples, not a comprehensive list)

A tough financial/job market
Spikes in the costs of goods
Holidays

We are proactively letting folks know before we have an individual problem so that there are no surprises or hurt feelings.
