Red Bird Needlepoint Kit

Suitable for an Advanced Beginner. This is an easy design but the tree branches require stitch placement decision-making.

This design is on 18-count canvas which some stitchers find hard to see. If you are looking for designs on a larger mesh you can find them here. (Larger mesh canvases aren't necessarily easier to stitch they are just easier to see!)

Frame it in one of our 6" x 4" frames or source your own. The stitched design can be easily framed at home in a store-bought frame.

If you want affordable and convenient custom framing, we have had success with www.framebridge.com (not an endorsement).

You will need a pair of embroidery scissors suitable for snipping threads. We have several on-site. This is the only essential additional item required.

The following are optional (see the Add-Ons below):

• If you want to stitch with the canvas held taut on a frame (optional but recommended for ease of stitching), you will need a pair of 7-inch and a pair of 9-inch stretcher bars, and some thumbtacks.
• Needle threaders help thread your needle.
• A needle minder is a great tool if you're using a frame because you always know where your needle is!
