How to Keep a Bargello Needlepoint Stitch Notebook
As you work on a Bargello project or experiment with different stitch techniques, you should record all useful information you learn in a Bargello needlepoint journal or stitch notebook. To help you keep a written memory of your Bargello needlepoint treasures, download these FREE checklists and journal tools. You will need Adobe Reader to view the Bargello Needlepoint Notebook. Just save it to your computer and print at your leisure. For handy reference, place the finished Notebook pages in plastic sheet protectors and insert in a three-ring binder.
The Bargello Needlepoint Notebook
It’s great to be able to look back at the Bargello needlepoint items you create, especially if you give most of them away like I do. The Bargello Needlepoint Notebook allows you to keep a complete record of the steps you took to make the items. Complete this notebook template for every Bargello project you stitch. Note any measurements and changes you make to the design or instructions. Include stitch and thread samples as well as a picture of the finished product and any sketches you made. Document solutions to problems you may have encountered. Download your FREE copy of the Bargello Needlepoint Notebook template here.
Stitch Log
It’s amazing how time flies when stitching Bargello needlepoint and most times we forget to log the number of hours it takes to make a Bargello heirloom; so, I’ve included a stitch log in the Bargello Needlepoint Notebook as well.
Future Project Template
To remember those spur-of-the-moment creative project ideas, use the Bargello Needlepoint Notebook to jot them down for future reference, and to list any new techniques you would like to try sometime. A template for this is also included for download. I hope you enjoy the Bargello Needlepoint Notebook and use it again and again as a tool to enhance your stitching.
