How to Cut a LePoint Studio Christmas Village House for Needlepoint Finishing
Canvas by Le Point Studio.
If you've ever picked up your scissors, hovered over your finished needlepoint canvas, and thought... where exactly do I cut? You are absolutely not alone. It's one of the most common questions in the needlepoint finishing world, and honestly, it deserves a real answer.
Cutting your canvas is one of those steps that feels intimidating until someone walks you through it. Cut too close to the stitched edge and you risk fraying. Leave too much and your finishing tabs get bulky and awkward. When you're working with a shaped canvas like a LePoint Studio Christmas village house, getting that cut right matters even more.
The good news? There's a low-stakes way to practice before you ever touch your actual canvas. A simple photocopy and a Sharpie can completely change how confident you feel going into your finish.
Over on the Needlepoint Finishing Fairy Substack, there's a full video tutorial walking through the exact cutting method for a LePoint Studio Christmas village house, step by step, using a photocopy technique that helps you visualize your finishing tabs and margins before any real cuts are made.
