| Tip of the Month | |
The Importance of
Even Tension
When stitching, always be conscious of the stitch tension. If tension is loose, your work will look lumpy. Too much tension distorts the canvas and sometimes this cannot be blocked out. Using stretcher bars helps to keep your tension even across the canvas. Stretcher bars, which come in assorted sizes, are a "must have" for all stitching projects.

Greetings!
Happy Spring, at least that's what the calendar says! School graduation ceremonies are just a few months away. What better way to recognize the achievements of a graduate than with a personalized needlepoint gift? Belts, key fobs, ornaments, boxes and pillows with a school logo and monogram make wonderful gifts. Our custom painter can design a special personalized canvas for you.
