Needlepoint is a form of counted thread embroidery, which is stitched on an open weave canvas. Most of the Needlepoint designs use a simple tent stitch and depend on the colour changes in order to construct patterns. This is another main type under needlework.
Needlepoint has a long history, which goes back to the ancient Egyptians, who used stitches to sew up their canvas tents. This method is not similar to all types of embroidery because it is not stitched on a fabric.
Needlepoint worked on a stiff canvas. This can be used to make eyeglass cases, pillows, purses, upholstery, wall hangings and holiday ornaments as well.
