Stitches

The Needlepoint Patterns Free Directory turns the light onto stitches. These projects go in depth looking at a single stitch and its variations or create a sampler that will show off several different stitches.

As stitchers discovering a new stitch is so much fun. Suddenly, you see reasons to use it everywhere.

That's why projects like this are so great -- they teach you new stitches and open new ideas for the pieces you have in your stash.

For myself, I'm quite addicted to stitch samplers, I've been making them since I was in High School and I have two in progress right now.

Enjoy these great projects!
