Review of tapestry
I was very happy with the finished product and service.My only concern was it wasn't very clear what stitch to use. Also would be good if the cotton was included.
Needlepoint Canvas
There are several types of craft that involves needles, thread, and canvas, such as embroidery and needlepoint. The differences between these needlecrafts are as follows:
Fabric Info
Needlepoint canvas is usually polyester coated cotton or linen, although recently plastic "canvas" has grown in popularity. Needlepoint fabric is stiffer than that used for embroidery or cross-stitch. Our tapestry is made with cotton canvas, as well as 100% cotton in a block weave – it is one of the most popular types used for embroidery and especially suited for beginners. The defined holes in the fabric is best for regular cross stitch, half stitch, and back stitching. Fractional stitches (1/4 and ¾ stitches) it becomes slightly more difficult to use with standard tapestry wool. The material is flexible enough to bend and fold easily, that is why we recommend to use a frame for better handling.
Thread Info
As a rule, you should usually use two strands of floss for our personalised tapestry fabric in counts 12-18. Tapestry wool is suitable for canvas counts between 10 and 14. For finer details in the photo tapestry, we suggest using Persian yarn or Crewel wool. Persian yarn is usually made of three strands of Crewel wool twisted together; it can be split into individual strands easily. Crewel wool is very fine, made of two spun fibres twisted together. As stated above, when sold as thread it usually contains two or more strands. You can get threads from your local haberdashery or thread shop.
Your tapestry photos or design is printed onto the tapestry material using deep infusion printing techniques. This ensures that the colours are as vivid as possible and that the design will not peel away or fade. It is worth bearing in mind that the higher the number, the smaller the holes and the more of them there will be. For example, 10 point has larger holes, and fewer of them take up the fabric than 14 point, which has more holes which are smaller. If you have a very detailed image with many fine lines, you may want to bear this in mind when ordering.
Print your own photos onto needlepoint canvas fabric. A bold family portrait or an impressively vast landscape would give you brilliant opportunities of creating your own photo needlepoint. Crafting with photos allow you to craft realistic images in a creative way, using custom printed canvas fabrics. Whether you want a tiny, mantlepiece photo tapestry or a large wall tapestry print, you can make it happen using our custom design system and choosing your custom size.
Hone in your crafting skills and turn your old family photos from by-gone eras into long-lasting, needlepoint canvas prints. You need a needle and thread to stitch over the designs to create stunning needlecraft artwork, breathing life into misty memories.
Handy tip: If you need extra space around your design (framing, stitching, etc), make sure to add this white space within the design interface as we strictly print the dimensions selected on the design interface. As the tapestry canvas and fabric is coated cotton with several holes on it, it is important to use darker/ high contrast images to make sure that the final print is clearly visible and easy to sew on. White or light-coloured images will result in a faint print that will be difficult to work with.
