Needlentory vs STScI Library Self

Never buy the same thread twice. Needlentory keeps your embroidery threads, beads and fabrics in one place. See what you own, what each project still needs and what to buy — no more guessing in the craft store. PALETTES Create custom material palettes or import ready-made ones from Needleply — threads, beads and fabrics from 50+ manufacturers in seconds. Build organized palettes and keep only the manufacturers you actually use. STOCK Track your threads, beads and fabrics with a simple inventory system. See exactly what’s in your stash, set quantities, create checklists and avoid buying duplicates. CLOSEST COLORS Every thread, bead and fabric color shows its closest colors from other brands — shades that look almost the same. Find a substitute when a color is sold out or a chart calls for a brand you don’t have. PROJECTS Cross stitch, satin stitch, needlepoint, punch needle, sashiko, hardanger, blackwork, goldwork, whitework, redwork, tapestry, long stitch, canvaswork or freestyle — choose the technique for every project. Manage your embroidery projects with linked materials and required quantities. Instantly see what’s in stock and what still needs to be purchased. Filter by status, group projects into collections and track your progress with notes over time. STITCHHUB IMPORT Turn a StitchHub chart into a project in one step, with its cover, fabric, threads, beads, amounts and stitching history. Check each color first: keep the match, pick another from your palettes or add it as new. PURCHASES View your full shopping list in one place — for a single project or across all of them. Mark items as bought and keep everything up to date. Copy the list for online shopping or export it to PDF. Add the Purchases widget to your Home Screen to see what to buy at a glance. BACKUPS Keep your inventory safe with backups to iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive or Box. Restore your data on any device in seconds. Start organizing your embroidery stash today and stitch with confidence.
