    I have no quarrel with the hints contained herein, even if often pedestrian. And, were the material presented as a needlepoint blog, I would expect and forgive a fair number of errors. However, this text is marketed as a book, and its proofreading, if done, was poor indeed.
    Help answer the question about Thread Needlepoint
    Technique of embellishing a painted needlepoint canvas vs covering with stitches? What do you think? Any tips?
    I like to do needlepoint and have gotten pretty good at it, and collected so many beautiful painted canvases and unusual Thread Needlepoint threads. I've always filled the whole picture in with various types of stitches, but sometimes it seems like it might look better to just 'decorate' some of the areas with fancy threads and beads - because the canvas itself looks nice, or because certain shapes in the design might get slightly distorted if completely covered. I wonder if anyone has experimented this way, and how it would look, or if there are any websites with examples and ideas?
