Absolutely a Game Changer
Never used a laying tool for my embroidery. You can bet I won’t be without it again!

Neater stitches
This is one of my favorite layering tools, I have many. Unfortunately I lost the one I had so immediately ordered another from Needlepoint. Com. When using this small tapered layering tool your stitches are more uniform and neater looking. If you have never used a layering tool I highly recommend starting with this one.

Handy tool!
This a very handy and helpful tool of high quality for assuring that your threads are laying straight and looking their best!

Love this canvas! It’s challenging enough to keep it interesting but easy enough to not get frustrated. Very easy to switch up stitch types if you want but the stitch guide is great if you’re one for following rules!
My first project! Letter B in black and red with classy red letter tag. This will be for one of the men in my family. I am working hard on the background this week. Excited!
I’m excited to finally visit your shop in person. It is amazing. My first purchase was the Charleston Fountain that I bought on line. Your kits are wonderful and I look forward to purchasing more of them. I am not a rewards member but I would like to be if you can help me take care of that. So I do not miss out on my points. Thank you!!!😊
Learning the foundation stitches, Tent, Continental and Basketweave Stitch. Learning the appropriate way to start and end threads. Chooses clearly defined designs with plenty of background and no shading. Likes to work large areas of one stitch that requires no compensation. Comfortable with using floss, pearl cotton, merino wool and/or tapestry wool.
Level 2
Expanding on foundation stitches and learning Alternating Continental, T-Stitch, Brick Stitch and its variations. Learning to read stitch diagrams that also include verbiage. Starting to learn how to compensate a stitch that cannot be completed within a defined area. Working with a mixture of single strand and pliable threads on one project to add depth and dimension. Adding stitches that build off of Tent such as Mosaic, Scotch and Cashmere.
Level 3
Learning more complicated stitches such as Rhodes, Byzantine, and Herringbone. Also adding composite stitches into repertoire such as Criss-Cross Hungarian. Reads stitch diagrams with or without numbers and verbiage. Understands compensation. Adding textured threads including man-made fibers intended for metallic, sparkly, and fluffy effects to projects and can work through shading effectively. Uses a stitch guide for projects and sticks to it. Comfortable plying and or blending threads.
Level 4
Enjoys a good stitch guide but is willing to dismiss parts in order to incorporate personal artistic interpretation. Has a library of "go to" stitches and can work through all variations of Turkey Work, Jessica Stitch, Crescent Stitch and Openwork Background stitches. Comfortable compensating in complex design areas. Ok with random stitches such as long and short stitches. Views a stitch guide as just a guide and is comfortable using stitches other than what is recommended.
