For the needlepoint obsessed. Stitchpoint is the free needlepoint app for tracking canvases, threads, stitches, and the community of stitchers around you. Track every canvas from kit to finished piece. Search your needlepoint notions. Learn new stitches. Find the needlepoint shops near you. Find your next project in another stitcher's finished piece. WHAT YOU GET PROJECT TRACKING Every needlepoint project, from the moment you pick a canvas to the day it comes back from the finisher. Every WIP, every finished piece. YOUR NOTIONS, ORGANIZED Threads, wools, silks, ribbons, beads, needle minders, stretcher bars. Know what is in your stash before you buy that DMC 310 again. THE LNS DIRECTORY Local needlepoint shops, wherever you are. See which shops stitchers call home, and what they love about each one. YOUR LNS PASSPORT A stamp for every shop you visit. Photos to remember the trip. A list of the shops you want to visit next. A WISHLIST FOR THE CANVASES YOU LOVE Save canvases into collections. Christmas. For your mom. Maybe next year. No more losing canvases in your camera roll. A STITCH LIBRARY, WITH REAL EXAMPLES Every needlepoint stitch you might want to learn, with diagrams and real examples from other stitchers. INSPIRATION THAT GOES SOMEWHERE Bookmark what catches your eye — color combinations, finishing ideas, framing choices. Your visual notebook. A COMMUNITY OF STITCHERS Watch other stitchers' canvases go from kit to finished piece, and see exactly which threads, stitches, and canvases they used. New to needlepoint? You will not have to guess what to buy or which stitches to learn first. FREE FOREVER Your projects, your notions, and your wishlist stay free forever. 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

Add photos at every stage — canvas reference shots, work-in-progress updates, and finished pieces — organized into beautiful typed galleries. Log stitching sessions, track your progress percentage, and celebrate when you finish. BUILD YOUR THREAD STASH Search thousands of threads from popular brands like Appleton, DMC, Silk & Ivory, and more. Track what you own, how much you have left, and get low stock alerts.
