Tips for Needlepoint Tension

June 11, 2021 by Claudia Porter Leave a Comment

How many of us have pulled thread way too hard or left loose areas on our needlepoint projects?  I know I have, that’s for sure.  To help us out, Needlepoint for Fun has come up with a list of ten tips to help makers get that tension just right.

From needle size to canvas position, there are helpful suggestions to get your project looking its best.  To be honest, I never really thought about the needle size, but this article lists them all and tells you which one to use with which size canvas.

The writers ought to know what they are talking about.  They own a shop in Pennsylvania and are members of the American Needlepoint Guild.
