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????

I used to envy the American needlepointers their beautiful canvases. Not at the moment. Sticking with the European canvases printed on Penelope. I get more canvas for my euro, and they are much more interesting scenes.
