Needlepoint - needlepoint finishing


Expert: Henry Babcock - 6/16/2009

Question
I have been looking for a book on finishing techniques for needlepoint canvases, both for mounting for framing and for making pillows.  Can you recommend a title that provides details and illustrations?

Answer
Anne,

I often refer people to "The Needlework Doctor" by Mary Kay Davis.  It is very detailed, and has pretty good illustrations.  I just took a look at Half.com, and they have several copies available in the $2-$5 range.  You could also request it from your library.

Hope this helps,

Henry Babcock
