Ready to dive into some stitches that you can use to embellish your needlepoint canvases? Terrific! Me, too. Let’s chat just a minute about stitch families before we get started, though.

I like to categorize canvas embroidery stitches into these five families: straight, slanted, crossed, looped, and knotted.
