Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory Card Deck: 50 creative stitches and techniques for tapestry embroidery

This needlepoint stitch card deck is absolutely fantastic! The format is so thoughtfully designed—each card is clear, sturdy, and easy to follow, making it simple to flip through and find exactly the stitch you need in the moment. I love how modern and creative the stitch selection is. It’s perfect whether you’re looking to build foundational skills or add more texture and variety to your projects. The instructions are straightforward, and the visuals make learning new stitches feel approachable instead of overwhelming. It’s also incredibly convenient compared to a traditional book—you can pull out just the cards you need and keep them right next to your canvas while you work. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, this deck is such a fun and practical addition to your needlepoint toolkit. Highly recommend!

Have been looking for a book that described different needlepoint stitches. These cards are perfect. Easy to follow and well illustrated. Highly recommend for anyone who needlepoint.

Great product, fun to look through and helpful

Gift for our daughter and she loves them. Great reference cards.

Like that it shows the stitches and how to do them

These are so handy, whatever stitch I'm learning, I keep in my bag, don't have to worry about a bulky book, very easy to read and detailed, highly recommend for learning stitches.

Excellent teaching tool for beginners. Clear and specific instructions and pictorial samples. Highly recommend.

This sounded like a good idea. I once had needlepoint instruction cards that were only slightly larger than regular playing cards and were held together on a metal ring. I loved that and used it all the time, but gave it away 10 years ago when health problems made it difficult to do needlepointing. My problems have improved and I'm back needlepointing, but I've forgotten how do many stitches. I searched everywhere for a product like the one I gave away, but found nothing. When I saw these cards by Emma Homment, I was delighted and ordered them immediately. Unfortunately, the cards are so big that they are hard to handle. Plus, they don't slide like regular cards. Flipping through them to find the stitch I want takes much too long because they are hard to separate. I ended up buying Emma Homment's book and got instructions for more than twice the number of stitches than the cards. Plus I can dog ear the corner of the pages to get quick access to my favorite stitches. The cards and the book are full color with excellent and easy to understand instructions and beatiful designs. I'd definitely give Emma Homment's Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory 5 stars because of it's ease of use, more patterns and easier to locate stitch instructions than her card set.

Good collection of stitches, some are repetitive and overly simple though when the stitch itself is intuitive. Still don’t regret the purchase, and better than having a book to flip through

pratico

Really love these cards and they arrived just as described. It is so much more convenient to have a card in front of you than trying to keep an instruction book open - and such clear instructions too. What a good idea for this type of hobby.

Very useful item, very happy with my purchase.

I like the easy to use card system. Clear graphics. Good qhaulity card and illustrations.
