Question
I would like to buy completed needlepoint work for 8 dining room chairs,seats only.Are they available? Cant seem to find completed ones.  Thank you so much for any suggestions....Janie

Answer
Janie,

You are likely only going to find used fully completed needlepoint pieces.  If you want all matching pieces for a set of chairs, you will most likely have to get pieces that have the design pre-worked, but the background will need to be completed (usually just a solid color).

Try searching online for "pre-worked needlepoint".  Then, if you cannot stitch the background yourself, there are services available that will finish the stitching for you.  Try searching online for "stitching service" or "needlepoint stitching service"

Hope this helps,
