NEEDLEPOINT FINISHING PROCESS

1. FILL OUT A FINISHING FORM

Please fill out one of the needlepoint finishing forms at the bottom of this page based on the type of project you want made. If you don't see a form that fits your project, you can fill out the miscellaneous form, and we'll contact you to discuss details.

Please fill out the form completely, being as detailed as possible. Your finishing will be created using the selections and details you provide.

Be sure to include all of your contact information including your name, address, e-mail, and phone number. Please take care to write neatly so that all info is legible. Do not include any credit card information or enclose cash or checks with the forms.

Browse our needlepoint fabric selection to see what fabrics we have available for your finishing. You can also send in your own fabric. We recommend medium-weight, non-stretch materials. There may be an additional cost if your fabric requires additional prep for use in your project.

If you need help putting your finishing order together, write "Please contact me to discuss details" in the notes section or contact the finishing team directly at: finishing@rittenhouseneedlepoint.com or 215-563-4566. They will arrange time to consult with you via email, phone, or video call per your preference.

2. PACK UP YOUR PROJECT

Remove your projects from stretcher bars, frames, or hoops.

Remove any needles, threaders, pins, needle minders, etc.

Place each of your needlework projects with their finishing form in separate ziploc bags to prevent the possibility of water damage in transit. We recommend rolling larger canvases, but folding is also ok.

We strongly encourage you to send your needlepoint finishing to us using insured UPS or Fedex shipments for more reliable real-time tracking. Rittenhouse Needlepoint is not responsible for packages lost by the carrier. Or bring your projects into the shop, and we'll help you complete the forms. Stop by any time, no appointment necessary.

3. AFTER SUBMITTING YOUR PROJECT

After filling out your forms and sending in your projects, you will receive an email confirming receipt within one business day of delivery (Monday-Friday). If you dropped off in store, your first email will be the deposit invoice (see below).

Expect up to 5 business days (Monday-Friday), for us to complete our internal processes. When complete, we will either contact you if you requested help with your finishing or send you a deposit invoice via email.

The deposit for your finishing projects will include 50% of the project cost, plus the cost of any threads required for custom cording. You can click the link in the deposit email to pay your invoice using a variety of digital payment methods. We do not accept checks; we only accept cash for in-person transactions at the shop.

Please review the invoice carefully as no changes may be made after the deposit is paid and production starts. Contact us if you need to make changes before paying the deposit. Invoices are due within 14 days of receipt. Production begins after the deposit is paid. Finishing orders are non-refundable.

4. WHEN YOUR PROJECT IS COMPLETE

After your project is finished, we will email you the final invoice for the remaining due amount.

Once your remaining balance is paid, we will have your project ready for pickup or ship it to you within 2 business days of payment (Monday-Friday).

Finishing projects are shipped back to you by UPS, so we cannot ship to P.O. boxes.

If you choose to pick up in-store, your finishing project must be picked up within 30 days of notification that it is complete.
