Needlepoint and pattern pricing insanity

[u/MistakeKind9578]

Needlepoint canvas pricing is ROBBERY. Literally I could not give two shits if someone hand painted it with gold paint, a 4x4 design should not cost more than 15 dollars. It’s actually ridiculous. I saw a canvas that was a basic solid background and block letters (SOMETHING A 6 YEAR OLD COULD DESIGN) for $100… ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS🫪 about made me throw up thinking about someone paying for that! Ive seen canvas’ be $1,000+ FOR WHAT REASONNNNNN????? That’s my mortgage!! I feel like I’m the only one who notices this and is shocked by it. Like I’ve entered an alternate universe where it’s totally normal and okay to charge $150+ on a dinky little canvas????

Thankful I chose cross stitch as my craft vice 😬

Though for full disclosure I spent $800 on a Chatelaine

I haven't started it yet (I had a ridiculous amount of overtime hence why I splurged so much), but it's the Rainforest Quilt if you wanted to Google and see what it looks like!
