Needlepoint canvases with stitch guides

For many canvases, we've made it easy for your customers to get the help they need to succeed. Look for the "Stitch Guide available with this item" banner on many of our product pages. That means the item comes with printed documentation, containing detailed illustrated instructions and useful tips. Stitch Guides usually retail for $5.00 each.

The general format includes:

  • A color photo of the completed canvas on the cover
  • A list of suggested thread choices - color, vendor, and type
  • A stitching guide tailored specifically for that canvas
  • Tips for completing the project optimally and easily
  • Illustrations of stitches, including diagrams and photos
  • A list of suggested stitches for different areas of the canvas

All "I CAN Needlepoint" products, including headbands, barrettes and ponytail holders, come with a stitch guide right in the package, and is included in the price.

We have found that the vast majority of customers will buy a stitch guide for a canvas, if it is available. Stitchers that buy a guide with their canvas have shown a higher level of satisfaction with their purchase and are more likely to become repeat customers.
