About
The Needlepoint Finishing Fairy exists to elevate the magic of needlepoint finishing through online tutorials & guides, workshops & events, and finishing services. We believe that all needlepointers should know and experience the magic and craftswomanship that goes into needlepoint finishing.
We empower stitchers to learn to finish their own needlepoint in formats accessible to them while appreciating and highlighting the expertise offered through LNSes or independent finishers.
You can learn to finish your own needlepoint in a "true shop style" with a beautifully professional exterior and industry best practices of acid-free materials and glue-free techniques where possible.
Meet Amanda
I'm Amanda Metes, founder of The Needlepoint Finishing Fairy. I believe that everyone can learn the magic of needlepoint finishing. I began my needlepoint journey as a pandemic stitcher and started finishing my own projects out of sheer impatience and an eye on my budget. Today, I share my own needlepoint finishing in hopes of inspiring and informing others.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting finishing?
At this time, I am only able to offer finishing services to existing clients. If this changes, email subscribers will be the first to know. Occasionally, if I'm interested in trying a new format, I will open up one or two slots for a new format (e.g. Limoges boxes, Tree toppers, etc). These will be shared through my email contact list.
What is Substack?
Substack is a writing platform where creators can share, connect, and host communities. The Needlepoint Finishing Club is hosted on Substack.
Do you offer finishing classes?
I offer free Finish-Alongs (online classes) to The Needlepoint Finishing Club members and offer select finishing topics in person at retreats, LNSes, or groups. Learn more about events here.
I'm new to needlepoint finishing, how do I get started?
The best place to start is with finishing a round ornament. You can check out the free guide here.
