Needlepoint Education
Learn to needlepoint!
It's easy, fun and affordable. Needlepoint can help relieve stress,
lift depression and focus your energy. At the same time, you can
create wonderful designs to enhance and embellish your home or
your wardrobe, or to give as gifts to friends and family... gifts
that will be cherished for generations to come.
Most needlepoint shops offer classes in beginning to advanced techniques.
Find a local
shop, or check out these sites to learn how:
There are also many wonderful instructional books available.
Most needlepoint shops offer a selection of fine, well-written books, offering instruction on everything from the basics to collections of intricate specialty stitches for the more advanced stitcher. They are an invaluable source of knowledge, complete with illustrations and suggestions for use of threads for specific effects.
Stitching classes are for children, too!
One of the joys of needlepoint is that it is a very easy hobby
to learn, even for young children. As soon as your child is able
to pick up a thread and pass it through a hole they're ready to
start stitching!
Most needlepoint shops gladly provide stitching classes for children.
If your child is interested in crafting, contact your local needlepoint
shop to see if they offer one on their schedule. Should none be
available in your area, the list of websites we've provided below
will help.
If you are aware of needlepoint or stitching classes for children
in your area, or offer them yourself, please let
us know, and we'll add them to our list.
