NEW Needlepoint Resource – Shapes of Needlepoint Series I:  Circles Squares Triangles Rectangles

Things are really buzzin around here at Duo Designs these days.

Our first book,  Shapes of Needlepoint Series I:  Circles*Squares*Triangles*Rectangles, was introduced at ANG National Seminar in Columbus, Ohio.  It has really been well received by you wonderful needleworkers and we appreciate your support.

Many of us in our stitching adventures come across stumbling blocks where we are faced with a particular area on a canvas and just can’t seem to think of something that would be appropriate to fill that space. While many of us have several books, we can spend countless hours thumbing through these wonderful resources trying to find that stitch that will fit that particular area.

A Different Solution – Shapes of Needlepoint :  Circles*Squares*Triangles*Rectangles

This book is arranged in such a way that you can approach that predicament from a different direction.  Instead of being forced to look at stitches by name, you now have the capability of researching stitches by the thread count space available or a preferred shape.

Shapes of Needlepoint Features

Two Indexes

The 100 page, 150+ diagram book is indexed in two styles for your convenience.

• One index is by the particular shape covered.
• The second index is by thread count.

Handy Spiral Binding

Reviews we are receiving tell us that one of the features liked about the book is that with the roomy, colorful spiral coil binding, you  are able to lay the book flat on a work surface and it stays that way.

Easy to Read Diagrams

Another favorite feature is the large, easy to read diagrams. They are easily seen at a stitching distance so that in most instances  the stitcher doesn’t need to put down their needle and pick up the diagram to have a closer look. Additionally, we have professionals that find the book to be a wonderful reference for those who are writing stitch guides.
