The Skein is a yearly membership for stitchers who want a few extras and want to support what we are building. THE STORY IS SHORT Stitchpoint started with the questions stitchers kept asking each other. Which threads work for which canvases. What is already in the stash at home. How to learn a stitch you have never tried. My wife needlepoints. She told me there should be an app for it. I started building it that day. Since then we have listened to stitchers, canvas designers, shop owners, and finishers. They told us what they actually needed. We build that. Stitchpoint is for them, and for everyone who finds their way to needlepoint next. WORKS BEST FOR Needlepoint canvases, hand-painted and printed. Threads from any brand you collect. Stitches from bargello to basketweave. Stitchers who track their WIPs, build a wishlist, plan a shop hop, and want to see how the community fills a background. Made with care for the needlepoint community. Terms of Use: https://stitchpoint.app/terms
