Frequently Asked Questions

We get these questions often, here are some answers


Our Products

Are your canvases hand painted?

We print our designs using the latest in digital industrial garment printing. The quality of our canvases equals or surpasses handpainted canvas. We know this is true because our customers keep telling us! Our needlework shop retailers agree as well.

What kind of canvas do you use?

Zweigart Mono Deluxe Needlepoint canvas is widely regarded as the best canvas available for needlepoint canvas. The printing process utilizes high-quality brand-name inks, to produce radiant imagery in vivid, long-lasting color.

Can you customize my canvas?

Of course! Most listing pages provide a link to customize this design. Use the customization form to explain how you want the design customized. We will send you a proof for your review.

How much does customization cost?

Most customizations are done at no extra charge. These include color changes, personalization, and adding text or minor design elements. More complex changes are charged by the hour for graphics work. Enlargements of canvases are priced according to size.

Is thread included in the canvas price?

No. A needlepoint canvas is sold by itself, with any embellishments, if available. However, most canvases offer the option to also purchase a thread pack at additional cost.

What is a thread pack?

We match colors on the canvas to DMC Pearl Cotton thread #3 and pack it up for you in a clear ziplock bag for convenient safekeeping. It also includes 2 tapestry needles. Some threadpacks include specialty threads, such as Kreinik Metallic.

Who is Pepita?

Actually, Pepita is not anyone's name (at least not anyone we know). The word "pepita" is Hungarian for a checkerboard or houndstooth pattern. It is pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable, and the "ta" pronounced "tuh."
