Learning the Art of Needlepoint

from the comfort of your own chair

I want to learn how to needlepoint but I don’t even know how to thread a needle.

I want my basketweave stitching to look better.

I used to needlepoint as a child.

I have done other needlecraft such as cross stitch, embroidery or sewing but never needlepoint.

I know how to basketweave but want to learn more decorative stitches.

I have a painted canvas and need help deciding what stitches to use.

I have counted needlepoint instructions...where do I start?

I have a stitch guide but I don’t understand all the instructions.

I am in a creative rut; I keep using the same stitches over and over and I want to try something new.

I want to learn different embellishment techniques: beading, ribbon, applique, or found objects.

I am having difficulty stitching a particular element.

I have always stitched counted work but want to try a painted canvas (or visa versa).
