The section about buying books from Amazon (and talking up a particular book) feels more like an advertisement than like an encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.59.64.113 (talk) 06:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the wrong word?[edit]

“Isabella Beeton's Beeton's Book of Needlework (1870) does not use the term "needlework"”

Perhaps that should read “..the term "needlepoint"”? Harfarhs (talk) 17:14, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

It was suggested at Talk:Canvas work (13 years ago!) that this article and Canvas work should be merged. I have a number of sources that indicate that "canvas work" is a synonym for "needlepoint" including the Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus and this article at the Textile Research Centre, Leiden. Any objections? - PKM (talk) 21:36, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 16:47, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Minor punctuation error in “Famous needlepointers” section[edit]

The opening sentence of this section lists royal needlepointers. The first mentioned is Mary, Queen of Scots, followed by several others. Because Mary, Queen of Scots, has a comma in her title, it would be less ambiguous to separate the people in this list with semicolons rather than commas:

”Royal needlepointers include: Mary, Queen of Scots; a second person; a third person…”

I will not comment on using an Oxford comma - that’s a personal choice. 50.93.222.221 (talk) 12:25, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add definition of Long Stitch & Upright Cross Stitch[edit]

Since there are no Wikipedia pages yet of the definitions for these, I would like to add brief definitions of them citing the book Mary Thomas’s Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches and removing the link on the names.

As I am new to editing Wikipedia I would welcome comments on this edition! Mya Harper (talk) 20:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
