Learn to needlepoint, one stitch at a time. Needlepoint Studio teaches you the whole stitch library with animated, step-by-step lessons. Every stitch draws itself on the canvas, stroke by stroke, with a needle that shows exactly where the yarn goes. Play it, pause it, step through a single stitch, or slow it to half speed until it clicks. No other needlepoint app teaches this way. FOLLOW A GUIDED PATH Start with First Stitches, free for everyone. Then work through curated lessons in Beautiful Backgrounds, Texture Sampler, and Decorative Accents. Each path builds real skills in the order a teacher would give them. KEEP YOUR WHOLE CRAFT IN ONE STUDIO • Track every canvas from "kitted up" to finished, with progress photos and a before/after compare. • Time your stitching sessions and watch your streak and weekly minutes add up. A running timer stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Give a canvas a finish-by date and see, in plain language, whether you're on pace to make it. • Organize your fiber stash and stretcher bars: brand, color, count, and how much you have left. • Flag what you're low on, then take the whole To Buy list to the shop as a shopping list, so you never buy the same thread twice. KNOW WHAT IT'S ALL WORTH See the value of your collection at a glance, and export an insurance-ready CSV or PDF report: proof of everything you own, ready when you need it. CELEBRATE EVERY FINISH Finished canvases join a gallery grouped by year. Share a single project's before-and-after, or a whole year of stitching, as a card made for the feed. YOURS, EVERYWHERE, FOREVER Everything backs up privately through your own iCloud account. Get a new iPhone and your studio is already there. Add Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a new stitch to learn every day. Log a session with one tap or by asking Siri, and jump to any project or stitch from Spotlight search. GO PRO YOUR WAY: SUBSCRIBE, OR PAY ONCE AND OWN IT FOREVER Studio Pro unlocks the full stitch library, all learning paths, unlimited projects, finish-by pacing, collection and shopping-list export, the Year-in-Review card, and nine extra studio themes. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription (yearly starts with a 3-day free trial), or make a single lifetime purchase that's yours forever. Every plan works on all your devices and shares with your household through Family Sharing. Your data is never locked behind Pro: everything you've made stays visible, editable, and synced even if a subscription ends.
