Can I Get a Stitch Guide for This?

The Needlepointer has a nice article up about stitch guides and what to do when the answer to "Can I get a stitch guide for that?" is no.

https://www.theneedlepointer.com/can-i-get-a-stitch-guide-for-this/

"Be brave" and "use doodle canvases" are the best pieces of advice!  But if you need a little more hand-holding than that and don't have a shop or fellow stitchers to talk to about your canvas, check the "Learn to Embellish a Painted Canvas" articles in the tabs above.  In those I do my best to help you get started.
