Step 1
Purchase all of your supplies at one time. This is especially important when choosing threads and fibers to be sure that you use the same color dye lot throughout when stitching a Bargello needlepoint project.
-
Step 2
Buy extra threads, fibers and needlepoint canvas in case you change the design size or use more materials than expected. Nothing is more frustrating than running out of thread when you’re almost finished the project.
-
Step 3
Buy supplies you use regularly in bulk--like brass tacks, tapestry needles or basic finishing supplies. Keep them in an accessible place like a closet, drawer or embroidery nook and cranny.
-
Step 4
Always be on the lookout for hard-to-find supplies and keep a reasonable number of them in your Bargello needlepoint stash. Collect catalogs, brochures and leaflets about sources and needlepoint product descriptions.
-
Step 5
Search online for discount needlepoint supplies, threads and gadgets. Bookmark those sites that offer both good quality items and deliver on their shipping and handling promises.
-
Step 6
Ask for help when shopping for Bargello needlepoint supplies. Get friends or family members to pick up basic supplies when they are near a needlepoint store, or train them on how to shop for stitching items when in grocery or discount department stores.
-
Step 7
Keep a wish list of Bargello needlepoint supplies you haven’t had time to buy or that you would like to own. Include a detailed description of each item along with price, color etc. and offer it to family and friends as ideas for birthday and holiday gifts for you.
