Collection FAQs

What is the difference between embroidery and tapestry?

Embroidery is decorative stitching worked onto fabric using thread, yarn, beads, or other materials. Tapestry traditionally refers to woven textile art, but in needlecraft, "tapestry" often means tapestry needlepoint, where stitches are worked through a canvas mesh.

What fabric is best for embroidery?

Popular embroidery fabrics include cotton, linen, evenweave, and canvas. The best choice depends on the design, stitch type, and desired finished look.

What are tapestry needles?

Tapestry needles (also called yarn or darning needles) have large eyes and blunt tips. They’re used to weave in yarn ends, sew pieces together, or add embroidery details.

Tip: Choose the needle size based on yarn thickness.

Which needle should I use?

  • Embroidery needles have a sharp point for piercing fabric.
  • Tapestry needles have a blunt tip and larger eye, making them ideal for needlepoint and counted-thread work.

Do I need a frame or hoop?

A hoop or frame is recommended for embroidery to maintain fabric tension. For tapestry and needlepoint, stretcher bars or frames can help keep the canvas straight and prevent distortion.

What are the most common beginner mistakes?

  • Using thread that is too long
  • Pulling stitches too tightly
  • Skipping pattern instructions
  • Using the wrong needle or fabric
  • Not securing thread ends properly
