There are hundreds of stitches used in Needlepoint. A stitch journal is a handy reference tool when looking for just the right stitch for a project, or when you want to build your skills and learn a new stitch.

To make a Stitch Journal, print out the available journal pages for each stitch you wish to add to the journal. It is best to use heavier card stock, available at office supply stores. Once you add a stitched sample, the pages become heavy and will need the support.

If you wish to create your own notes, you can print a blank journal page and paste the desired stitch diagrams into position.
