Stitch Guides: The Movie

Megan Holmes of The Needlepoint Clubhouse and Melissa McCloud of The Wool and The Floss use Instagram to do various little videos of items in their shops.  Their latest short film covers all the canvases with stitch guides they have available now.  This article from Blog lists all the designers covered with a recommendation you avoid the Kelly Clark guides if you are a beginner (unless you are adventureous and  highly motivated to learn) as she uses a lot of stumpwork techniques.  It might be overwhelming for a beginner to have all this to learn at once.

Raymond Crawford Stitch Guides

I've heard that Raymond Crawford has some free stitch guides on his website.  I can't find them (the site was recently redone so they might have disappeared in the transition), but I did find a listing of available guides for some of his designs.

https://raymondcrawforddesigns.com/?s=stitch+guide

As far as I know, none of the guides are done by Raymond himself, so it is likely they cost extra instead of coming with the canvas.  If you are a Raymond fan, though, keep an eye out here.
