I took from this point (10 months ago) forward to the ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) Seminar in Houston, Texas this week. With what I learned from you, I was able to take an intermediate class, without a feeling of intimidation. Sure, I was not as proficient as most Stitcher there, however, I held my own. Thank you Jenny, so very much for sharing your knowledge in needlepoint. You are a great Internet instructor. Did I have fun being around like minded Stitchers? You bet it did!!!

Great instructions! So clear and concise! I can hardly wait to begin my project! Thank you!

what happens to that knot from the waist yarn - you leave it just sit there? Every time you change color or even string you're supposed to make a waist yarn?

[lglanzer]

This might be a silly question but how do you cover or hide the knot if it’s on the front side?

[newhorizonsforfifty]

Nice usage of the Linn Drum machine in the backgroung.

Very informative and ez to listen to . Music was fine and gave me lots of ideas to start my own project. Thanks

I know this is like 5 years later, but I came across your video while looking up the difference between cross stitch and needlepoint. Is the only real difference just the fact that in needlepoint you essentially just do a half of the x in cross stitching?

Bees wax is awesome for getting the thread through the eye lit

[deannenorton]

When I do cross stitch my first stitch I don’t knot, I just have enough of a “tail” and I run it under the stitches on the back side. This keeps any bumps from being formed. Why does needlepoint use a waste knot instead?

[vickijeanne]

Is there a wrong way to do needlepoint? I've been going from bottom left to top right going right?

[ClairandHerImaginaryCat]

Would the knot at the beginning just show on the right side of the canvas? I’m confused

[puzzlemastermaxwheeler]

I Got a blank canvas Darcie plastic what should I Do

[danielstigers]

Are the online classes the same as this video?

[pastpianist]

Why would you put the knot on the presentation side of the canvas?

[phyliciabozzi]

Why do you have the knot on the side facing you?

[TheIcecaps]

Why would you put the knot on top of the canvas instead of the bottom?

[evastosic]

How about needlepoint on a window screen best ever

[Recordeer]

Definitely better techniques to use than a "waste knot" such as a Bargello Tuck. You shouldn't use any knots at all, unless it's a French Knot.

[francesbaxter]

If the know is on the top of your work. What happens to it as you go along ? Won’t he show in the stitches you do ?

[evastosic]

How about bug screen and back stich no strecher frame works like magic
