    Fabulous and helpful!
    I loved this video. I have been needlepointing for some time, but I am no means an expert, so every time I start a project I always need a reminder. Susan's instructions were clear and understandable, and I was easily able to follow along. I also loved seeing how many types of needlepoint projects there were, like belts and purses, not just pillows and wall hangings! So many people think needlepoint is stodgy "old lady" work, but Susan's projects are so vibrant and fun!!! Thank you!

For more than 35 years, The Point of It All has been known across the country for sophisticated, top-of-the-line needlepoint canvases and expert finishing. In 2007, Susan and Christopher Battle took the reins from founder Hyla Hurley. Hyla taught Susan to stitch more than 20 years ago and watched her passion for needlepoint flourish!

The shop features an unparalleled selection of hand-painted canvases by top needlepoint artists including Melissa Shirley, Amanda Lawford, Canvas*Works, Barbara Russell, JP, Julia’s Needleworks, Kathy Schenkel, Silver Needle, Clara Wells, and many, many more. If you are looking for a specific canvas but don’t see it in the shop, we are happy to order it for you. The Point of It All offers classes for children and adults of all skill levels as well as consultations on needlepoint restoration.

We also do a thriving out-of-town business—just because you don’t live in DC doesn’t mean we can’t be your needlepoint shop! You are now able to buy online and have us pull the fibers. Once you have stitched the canvas, we are happy to turn it into a magnificent pillow, beautiful wall hanging, or a fabulous purse. Our finishers are the best in the business!

Susan Battle: Hello! I am Susan Battle, owner of The Point of it All. This video is how to needlepoint and in this segment, I will be showing you some other stitches that you might want to learn later.

Here is an example of some other stitches that you might want to learn as you become more advance needle pointer. Right here, this stitch is called Willow. This is the Basket-weave and it's a relative of the Continental Stitch you learned today. This is the Diamond Pavilion or Pavilion Diamond, either one. This is a Slanted Gobelin with a line of metallic and then here I am just getting started, but this is going to be the Vertical Jacquard and then these patterns are repeated in the remaining squares.

This stitch is called the Diagonal Mosaic and it is a super stitch for backgrounds because you can move really quickly and get a lot of canvas covered fast and there are just so many other possibilities of stitches. It's a lot of fun and I encourage you to get started stitching. Remember, there are no needlepoint police, there are no rules, just have fun and my best advice to you is Happy Stitching.
