Question
Do you know anyone in the USA that cleans and puts new linings in needlepoint purses?  I have several that need this so that I can enjoy them.  Thanks in advance.

Answer
Annie,

While I can't name any specific places, I would recommend you try some online searches for "needlepoint finishing", "needlepoint cleaning", "needlepoint restoration", or other search phrases along those lines.

You could also try contacting The American Needlepoint Guild:

Hope this helps,
