Get your Christmas stitching ready! In this class, you’ll learn a variety of creative stitches and techniques that will not only bring your gingerbread house canvas to life but also inspire ideas for future projects. Not only will you learn what the stitches "do", you'll also pick up tips on where else they can be applied, and what threads bring out their best potential.
The class videos give you a close-up view of exactly how to perform each stitch. You can stop the video whenever you want, and replay, or skip to a stitch you know you want to use. Plus, you'll be able to do this for years to come, because your access to the class never expires.
*Colors of thread included in kit will vary*
Kit includes access to online video instructions, stitch guide, blank canvas, needle and thread pack to practice these stitches over and over again.

Ready, set, stitch!
Our needlepoint kits have it all—premium threads, a needle, and a step-by-step guide.
This is just what I needed to stitch the 4 Gingerbread Houses for my grandchildren.
It was an excellent resource with good suggestions and helpful tips to improve my stitching.

Great Kit
I really enjoy the online classes from Needlepoint.com. The videos are very quick, and easy to watch and follow. I love being able to go back and review any stitches or techniques that I forget.

Samples galore
I really liked how the stitch guide that came with the gingerbread course had so many photos. I found that the extra stitches shown in the photos beyond the one highlighted help me find the ideas I am looking for to stitch my cottages. Being able to see what others have done is always inspirational.

Skill Levels
Level 1
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.
