Needlework Finishing Services
Finishing services provided through Heritage Cabin Co.
Because your finished stitching deserves better than a drawer.
You’ve spent hours choosing the perfect pattern, picking out floss, counting stitches (and occasionally recounting them). You’ve finally finished your masterpiece. Now what?
If your completed projects are currently enjoying an extended vacation in a drawer, we’ve got just the thing!
Thread the Needle Stitchery offers professional needlework finishing services provided through Heritage Cabin Co., helping turn your completed stitching into something beautiful you’ll actually display.
From ornaments and pinkeeps to pillows, drums, stand-ups, and specialty finishes, we’re here to help give your stitching the finishing touch it deserves.
Meet Angel of Heritage Cabin Co.
Meet Angel, the talented hands behind Heritage Cabin Co.’s Finishing Room—and the person who can help your finished stitching finally escape the drawer!
Angel is a stitcher, quilter, basket weaver, and broom maker with a love of early American history and traditional handwork. She appreciates the time, skill, and care that go into making something by hand. And if George Washington is your favorite historical topic, pull up a chair. You two will have plenty to discuss!
That love of doing things the old-fashioned way doesn’t stop at her worktable. Angel and her husband, Brian, are building a log home using timber and stone from their own land. As if stitching, quilting, weaving baskets, and making brooms weren’t enough to keep her busy!
As a stitcher herself, Angel knows what goes into every finished piece—the hours, the counting, the recounting, and the occasional conversation with your floss. She brings that understanding to her finishing, choosing thoughtful details and using traditional techniques to complement the stitching you’ve worked so hard on.
From a little pinkeep or Christmas ornament to a piece you hope to pass down someday, Angel gives each project the care and attention she gives her own.
We’re happy to have Angel and Heritage Cabin Co. helping our stitching community turn those “finished, but not fully finished” projects into pieces ready to enjoy!
How It Works
-
Choose Your Finish
Browse the available finishing services and select the style you have in mind. Not sure what would work best? That’s perfectly fine! Your personal finishing consultation will help you explore the possibilities.
-
Drop Off Your Stitching
Bring your completed needlework to Thread the Needle Stitchery and fill out a finishing intake form.
We’ll document your piece, take a photograph of its condition, and provide you with a copy of your intake form for your records.
-
Let’s Talk Finishing!
Once Heritage Cabin Co. receives your project, Angel will contact you directly by phone or email for a personal consultation.
Together, you’ll discuss your vision, finishing options, materials, embellishments, pricing, and estimated turnaround time.
-
Approve Your Finish & Pay Your Deposit
Following your consultation, Heritage Cabin Co. will confirm your finishing details and pricing.
A 50% deposit is required before work begins. All invoicing and payments are handled directly through Heritage Cabin Co., so there’s no need to bring payment when dropping off your stitching.
-
The Finishing Magic Happens
Your needlework will be carefully finished using quality materials and traditional finishing techniques, with attention to the details that make each piece special.
Heritage Cabin Co. accepts up to three pieces per customer at a time. Projects are completed in the order received, and rush orders are not available.
Completion times vary depending on the type of finish and current workload. An estimated timeframe will be provided during your consultation.
-
Final Payment & Pickup
Once your finishing is complete, Heritage Cabin Co. will contact you and invoice the remaining balance.
After payment is received, your completed piece will be returned to Thread the Needle Stitchery. You’ll be notified when it’s ready for pickup.
And just like that, another beautiful stitched piece has officially escaped the drawer!
Finishing Options & Pricing
Angel will help you choose a finish that complements your stitching and personal style. Materials, embellishments, pricing, and estimated turnaround time will be discussed during your consultation.
The Finishing Room at Heritage Cabin Co.
Heritage Cabin Co. will confirm your project’s finishing details and price before work begins. All invoices and payments are handled directly by HCC.
Before You Drop Off Your Stitching
Please bring your completed stitching clean and dry. Heritage Cabin Co. will press your piece as part of the finishing process but does not provide washing or cleaning services.
Leave enough surrounding fabric for your requested finish, and please do not cut or trim your fabric to its final size before drop-off. If your piece includes delicate embellishments, specialty fibers, or anything requiring special care, please let us know.
Additional preparation instructions will be available when submitting your project.
We’ll document your piece at drop-off, and you’ll have the option to grant or decline permission for photographs to be shared in our promotional materials.
