Finishing

Needlepoint is a relaxing and rewarding hobby. After your project is complete we believe the most important thing is the proper finishing. For this reason, we use finishers from all over the country, ensuring a limitless variety of finishing techniques.

Some examples of finishing are: 3-D animals and eggs, bean bag frogs, pincushion cookies and fruit, needlepoint kimonos on a dowl which can be hung on a wall, as well as Mardigras glasses and Asian fans finished as such.

Flowers and shells that can be finished on a stick and put in a flower pot, to liven up your plant. There are brick covers that make a fun statement at any door, as well as stuffed wreaths that look wonderful placed on a door.

Other examples of finishing are beach sandals, scuffs, full shoes, belts, glass cases and scissor cases. We also have many ways to complete your purse projects.

For Christmas there are standup Santas, stockings and ornaments - for Easter there are stuffed bunnies and eggs, etc.

Last but not least, there is pillow finishing. There are so many possibilities when doing a pillow from different types of edging, insertion techniques, fringes and materials for the reverse side of your project. The sky is the limit.

Needlepoint is a fun and exciting way to be creative and you can make any project as personal as you want. Its popularity has grown over the past few years and this has resulted in a wonderful selection in canvases, including wearables, to a myriad of fibers.

We are constantly adding new designers and fibers to our collection so you can have the best choice possible.
