Question 1

What is Your Needlepoint?

Accepted Answer

We're a custom needlepoint studio that helps you turn photos, AI-generated designs, and personalized text into stitchable canvases printed just for you.

Question 2

How do I create a design?

Accepted Answer

Start with one of three paths: upload a photo, describe an idea for AI to generate, or personalize a design with names, monograms, and meaningful text.

Question 3

Will any photo work for needlepoint?

Accepted Answer

Not every image translates well to stitching. We adjust composition, color, and detail so your design looks beautiful printed and great to stitch.

Question 4

Can I preview the canvas before ordering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You'll review and approve a proof of your design before we print anything.

Question 5

What canvas does the design get printed on?

Accepted Answer

Your design is printed on a premium needlepoint canvas suitable for traditional stitching techniques. Every canvas is printed on 18-count mesh — the finer count that holds detail beautifully while still stitching comfortably.

Question 6

Do you sell threads or kits?

Accepted Answer

We focus on the printed canvas. Thread and stitching guides may be added as the studio grows.

Question 7

Can I order a custom needlepoint as a gift?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our designs are created as wedding, baby, pet, and housewarming gifts.

Question 8

How does the color count work?

Accepted Answer

The number of colors you pick does two things. When you generate, the AI aims for a design that works well at about that many colors. Then, when we convert the design to threads, it's matched to exactly that many real thread colors. Fewer colors almost always stitch better, so we suggest starting low — around four to six, and up to ten if you want more detail. You can set anything from 1 to 36, and change the count anytime after generating; the design re-converts instantly, no regeneration needed.

Question 9

My design looks best with fewer colors — any tips?

Accepted Answer

For the best results at a low color count, set the count low before you generate. A design generated at 6 colors is composed for 6 colors. Generating with more colors and then sliding the count down can lose fine details and thin connecting lines, because the design was drawn assuming colors that are no longer there.

Question 10

Can I change individual colors in my design?

Accepted Answer

Yes — click any area of your design to change its color to a different thread, apply that change everywhere the color appears, or remove the color so no thread is stitched there. You can also click an empty area to fill it with a thread. Every change is undoable.

Question 11

How does text work on my canvas?

Accepted Answer

Text you add is rendered in stitch fonts — every letter is defined stitch by stitch, so what you see is exactly what prints, with clean edges at any size. Text can be rotated in 90° steps. You can also describe lettering in your AI prompt (including cursive styles), and the AI will draw it into the design itself.

Question 12

Is my work saved?

Accepted Answer

Yes — designs save automatically as drafts while you work. Find them anytime in My Designs to keep editing, and nothing is printed until you approve your proof.

Question 13

What does skill level do?

Accepted Answer

Skill level adjusts how much fine detail the AI puts into your design. Beginner keeps shapes larger and airier for easier stitching; Advanced allows finer detail. It doesn't change the canvas size.
