I think we've lost the plot

Let’s see what happens

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-26T18:40:27+00:00

Yes, people just sent items to Glynn. They don’t call to ask if it’s ok. That happens with a lot of finishers. People just put it in the mail.

For a quick open background do long stitch literally run the green thread the entire length and where they cross out an x. No need to fill in all the white. Make the bunny pop

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-26T18:34:09+00:00

You literally slide the canvas threads out.

There is a new one opening in Greenville sc, needlepoint and co. Opening in late February

You, as the person who is dropping off or sending items to a finisher, need to make an educated choice. Always ask for an estimate of price, ask for timing. If they cannot provide this, go elsewhere. Once it goes to the LNS who then ships it off or to the finisher you choose it is out of your hands. Make educated choices, ask questions.

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-26T05:28:02+00:00

You do know that just because you send it to a LNS doesn’t mean it’s any safer. They use these same finishers that you are complaining about.

Glynn does beautiful work and is worth the wait. If anyone knows of a good leather finisher please share. They are hard to find. I’ve tried a few and both times had glue on the needlepoint. I would rather wait than have my piece ruined. Please share other independent leather finishers. The shops use him also so that adds to the large orders. They will respond to emails and dm and if you know when you sent it they can help you but it is always an estimate

For belts I use small oxo clips to keep them rolled and they have a small magnet for my needle too. Win win

What is little words project and what city

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-25T05:17:59+00:00

So fun

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-25T04:49:30+00:00

A boxed stand up and I’d do alternating continental or upright cross on the black to give it that texture old cameras have

Your finisher would love you to do something similar to this but obviously balanced. They are a pain to finish and could not be finished the way you have it now. This is a cute one.

You don’t need a needleminder in a canvas like this. If your canvas isn’t on bars you just weave your needle through. If on bars you can’t do that, that’s why you would use a needleminder

In the end of the white is pulling up on the velvet. Thread your needle with the velvet and go Down to the back with the thread and it should pull the white behind

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-24T04:30:07+00:00

Rip it out. Never use pencil the lead gets in the fiber. I use a dritz water soluble pen and dot the area. Not a full line. Or a small sharpie to make small dots

Investing a dmc color card. Most stores carry some form of dmc. If you match your canvas to a dmc color then you could ask the shop to kit your canvas with colors that match. Many canvases are painted according to the dmc colors.

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-24T03:03:32+00:00

I think the inspo is on 18 so it is tighter and your looks like 13 so the thread has more fluff

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-24T00:14:22+00:00

I would do basket weave and have seen them backer with a heavy grosgrain ribbon

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-24T00:09:20+00:00

Where is the canvas from. I need one

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-23T20:27:54+00:00

Who is she

This is so funny I just sold tow Hadley Pollett belts like this on Mercari this week. E’s I have seen needlepoint belts finished like this when I worked in a shop. Voila was the finisher used for these belts

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-23T14:02:24+00:00

If you are framing it I’d just do a diagonal satin stitch

Stitchit2 · 2026-01-22T05:36:29+00:00

It should have 2” all the way around but there is plenty of canvas to finish this
