SewNowThis.com Info on sewing, needlepoint and textiles... What
is Needlepoint? Needlepoint as a whole is stitches done in a counted fashion. The American Needlepoint Guild, an educational non-profit organization, defines the term as "any counted or free stitchery worked by hand with a threaded needle on a readily countable ground." You can do free form stitches on the countable canvas giving whatever you are making as unique as any other art. And with the different yarn colors and textures with which to work your stitches, the possibilities are boundless. Carole Lake's description of what needlepoint is from the AMG's website shows that needlepoint is much more than counted stitch kits. From geometric and traditional to free form and whimsical, this shows that Needlepoint as a whole can be as simple or dynamic as the artist with the needle wants it to be.
