Simple by design

How NeedlepointFinish works

From finished canvas to finished piece — without the Instagram DMs, mystery pricing, or months of uncertainty.

01

Configure your project

Select your finish type, canvas size, fabric preferences, and any add-ons. Our pricing configurator shows you an exact price instantly — no forms, no waiting for a quote, no surprises.

Most stitchers get a quote in under 60 seconds.

02

Choose your finisher

Browse vetted finisher profiles filtered by specialty, availability, and turnaround time. Read reviews from real customers. Every finisher on the platform has been manually reviewed and approved.

Only finishers currently accepting work are shown.

03

Pay and print your label

Book your finisher and pay securely through the platform. Your payment is held in escrow — your finisher doesn't receive it until your piece is delivered. A prepaid shipping label is generated instantly.

Our USPS rates are up to 40% cheaper than the post office.

04

Track every step

Drop your canvas at any USPS location. Track your package in real time from your dashboard. Your finisher sends progress photos mid-project so you always know how things are going.

No more wondering if your canvas arrived safely.

05

Receive your finished piece

Your finisher uploads final photos before shipping back. You get a tracking number the moment it ships. Payment releases to your finisher automatically upon confirmed delivery.

Your funds are protected until you have your piece in hand.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How are finishers vetted?

Every finisher goes through a manual application review. We look at portfolio quality, finish type expertise, and professional references. Less than 30% of applicants are approved.

What if my canvas is damaged in transit?

All shipments include carrier insurance. For pieces with declared value over $200 we automatically add additional coverage at checkout. If something goes wrong, our support team manages the claim for you.

How long does finishing typically take?

Turnaround times vary by finisher and finish type. Most pillows and ornaments take 4–6 weeks. Stockings typically run 6–10 weeks. Each finisher lists their current turnaround time on their profile.

When does my finisher get paid?

Your payment is held securely in escrow from the moment you book. It releases to your finisher automatically 72 hours after confirmed delivery — or immediately when you confirm receipt in your dashboard.

Can I work with a finisher I already know?

If your finisher isn't on the platform yet, invite them to apply. We review all applications within 48 hours. Many finishers join specifically because a stitcher referred them.

What does NeedlepointFinish charge?

Nothing to stitchers. Our platform fee is paid by finishers as a percentage of each transaction. The price you see is the price you pay.
