Needlepoint Canvases

Sandpiper is known for its large inventory of quality handpainted needlepoint canvases that come from areas throughout the United States and Great Britain. Many are stitch painted. Stitch painted canvases differ from stamped or silk-screened canvases in that each stitch is precisely painted where it should be placed. This differs from stamped designs where the stitch intersections can be improperly aligned. This results in the stitcher becoming frustrated and the self taught art of stitch “compensation” becomes a requirement. Sandpiper tries to purchase canvases that minimize this problem. Further, only those printed kits where the design is well aligned with the canvas threads will be sold at Sandpiper.
