Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory Card Deck: 50 creative stitches and techniques for tapestry embroidery

I find these a lot easier to use than the book. There’s a ton of stitches, and it’s easy to just grab the cards you need and take them with you!

Have been looking for a book that described different needlepoint stitches. These cards are perfect. Easy to follow and well illustrated. Highly recommend for anyone who needlepoint.

Great little reference guide for needlepoint stitches. I like that the guide in done on cards. That allows you to have the card in front of you while stitches rather than trying to hold a book open.

Super cute item for any budding needlepointers, large photos and easy to follow directions. Loved it and will love gifting it as well.

Great guide as a new needle pointer! Gives idea for stitches I would have never thought to try!

Very good illustrated directions. Easy to follow.

Love the cards, I'm a visual learner and I like being able to take the card out and place it in front me to duplicate the stitch. It's very well laid out and a good variety of stitches to learn.

This sounded like a good idea. I once had needlepoint instruction cards that were only slightly larger than regular playing cards and were held together on a metal ring. I loved that and used it all the time, but gave it away 10 years ago when health problems made it difficult to do needlepointing. My problems have improved and I'm back needlepointing, but I've forgotten how do many stitches. I searched everywhere for a product like the one I gave away, but found nothing. When I saw these cards by Emma Homment, I was delighted and ordered them immediately. Unfortunately, the cards are so big that they are hard to handle. Plus, they don't slide like regular cards. Flipping through them to find the stitch I want takes much too long because they are hard to separate. I ended up buying Emma Homment's book and got instructions for more than twice the number of stitches than the cards. Plus I can dog ear the corner of the pages to get quick access to my favorite stitches. The cards and the book are full color with excellent and easy to understand instructions and beatiful designs. I'd definitely give Emma Homment's Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory 5 stars because of it's ease of use, more patterns and easier to locate stitch instructions than her card set.

Really love these cards and they arrived just as described. It is so much more convenient to have a card in front of you than trying to keep an instruction book open - and such clear instructions too. What a good idea for this type of hobby.

Very useful item, very happy with my purchase.

I like the easy to use card system. Clear graphics. Good qhaulity card and illustrations.

It’s so difficult to have a phone on or a book when I’m practicing stitching - enter this card directory. It’s inspiring in a small package yet practical and useful. Good quality care - highly recommended.
