Needlepoint describes any embroidery on canvas where the whole of the canvas is covered by stitching. The term includes gross point, quick point and petit point. Needlepoint often needs squaring before stretching because the diagonal stitch can distort the shape if over tensioned. The term 'tapestry' is often erroneously used to describe needlepoint; tapestries are in fact woven, not sewn.
