Now with the ability to save links to sites, videos, and more. FINISHING TRACKER (Pointed Plus) finished isn't Finished — and the months in between are where pieces get lost track of. The Finishing Tracker follows every project from the final stitch until it's back in your hands: • Set a goal for any occasion and get a send-by date worked back from your finisher's turnaround • Keep the whole send-out story: finisher, order number, deposit, invoice, and tracking both ways • Self-finishing? Track your own stages, from blocking to final touches • Spec the finish — type, fabric, cording, monogram — linked right to items in your stash • Save reference photos before your piece ships, for peace of mind (and insurance!) Billed monthly or annually through your Apple ID. Family Sharing included. Cancel anytime. No ads. Just needlepoint.
