An amazing selection of everything you would need to stitch! Definitely worth the stop

Amazing variety! Great service and prices! My new favorite place for cross stitch supplies

We are so fortunate to have this shop near us. I have been going here for the longest time and feel blessed with their wonderful selection and quality of the products they offer. Great service and helpful as to different types of products that they carry. Last time I went was a Saturday and they were busy and they were serving people as soon as they could but it gave me more time to find things I didn't know I needed until I saw them there. This can be dangerous but so delightful. If you are a needle worker make the trip read more

To the reviewers that say these women are rude, I have to say that that has not been my experience at all. They are always helpful, and always ask me to come back with what I've made. They are opened everyday except for Sunday, and are open Saturday. Those hours are reasonable. The commenter that stated that the store hours revolve around their lunch schedules are just plain rude Please think before you leave a bad review. This store is the last of its kind, and a community gem. Many of us depend on this store for specialized fibers and supplies. read more

I have been shopping and learned to do stitching at The Stitching Post. I started way before they had a "store front" and was in an apartment in Baltimore/Catonsville. I have taken many classes and found everyone - teachers and staff WONDERFUL!!!! They have help me find things that I wanted and went so far as to special order them for me. I now live in PA and I still shop at The Stitching Post for a great selection. Love them. K read more

I've felt nothing but welcomed here at the Stitching Post. I'm an avid cross stitcher and I visited this store about a month ago to get some haul and fabrics. I was assisted with a fabric purchase, was enabled to spend my husband's money, and encouraged to visit again! I will recommend this cute shop to experienced and newbie stitchers alike. Thanks Ladies!!! read more

The Stitching Post - A pattern that I picked up from the Stitching Post. - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Catonsville, Maryland

See all

I ADORE this little shop! I've been in several times to pick up "one thing" and of course, I end up leaving with way more than I had planned on. This is a very diverse stitching shop, with supplies for counted cross stitch and needlepoint. They have a TON of patterns- of all kinds really, contemporary, classic, small, big, and everything in between. I love wandering the store because every single wall, pretty much every available space, is filled up with finished, beautifully-framed versions of many of the patterns they carry. There are rows and rows of DMC, Anchor, and many hand-dyed floss skeins. They have blending filament and beads, hoops, q-snaps, scroll frames, and notions of every kind. There are many Mill Hill kits and so much more I can't even list it all. I'm giving this store 5 stars no matter what, because they do an excellent job catering to such a fun craft and making sure to carry everything they can. If they don't have a pattern, they try to find it and will order it from you. Here are a few things to be aware of though- 1- They offer custom framing! However, it is VERY expensive, so just be aware of that cost when you're planning your project. I'm sure it's well worth it, but it definitely needs to be planned for ahead of time. Also it may take longer than the quoted 2-3 weeks to receive your framed, finished project. 2. They offer a lot of fabrics, with a large variety of type, count, and color. However, I have found that they tend to carry mostly neutral colors and subtle patterns. They do carry fabrics from Picture This Plus, and I can understand that they may have more difficulty selling brighter color ways from inventory, but I do wish they had at least some seasonally brighter, more vibrant options. I tend to order mine hand-dyed anyhow. I LOVE that they will help you figure out how much fabric you will need for your pattern, and they will cut the piece in a fat eighth, quarter, half, etc. Also, there are several small bins of sale and scrap fabric. I've managed to pick up several pieces of linen that I have on hand to stitch small projects and gifts from, for only a few dollars each! 3. Prices for many things such as floss, are not listed anywhere handy. You have to ask what the price is for many things, or just be prepared for the sticker shock when you didn't realize how quickly it would all add up! It's worth it though! 4. Leads me to my next point of feedback- things are slightly more expensive to purchase in the store than they can be found for online. I'm completely okay with this, because of the awesome customer service that comes along with it, and the convenience of being able to actually look through and put my hands on what I'm spending my money on. It's just something to be prepared for if you didn't know. I guess it's quite common for local needleshops to do this because there's just no way they can compete with the prices of a larger, online-only retailer. 5. Lastly the hours are very limited. I think it's open 10-4 most days, open one Sunday per month, and I believe they are open a little later on Thursdays. I understand that because it's a small shop, but I wish they'd extend their evening hours and maybe host some small events, stitching workshops/stitch-alongs, etc. (Just me, but I think they should team up with Sugar Bakers and have a stitching & sweets night!) read more

I had been a customer of this store for over 20 years but I have finally stopped going there after seeing the deteriorating customer service, lack of response, and slow ordering. Everything from overpriced stock, not being able to find all the supplies needed for projects (even ones just released at Nashville Market!), and the owner's poor business sense. I hate to say I wouldn't be upset to see this brick and mortar close. I now drive through the Baltimore Tunnel and twice the distance to go to a LNS that is more customer focused. read more

Great selection of canvas and fibers! Ladies in the shop are super helpful and everything is reasonably priced!

How thrilling to see this array of embroidery and needlepoint materials! The embroidery floss section at Michael's or Joann suddenly looks like a crust of bread in comparison to the multiple fresh loaves here...so to speak. Sparkly, silky, woolly, velvety - heavenly! Super nice ladies who have all sorts of helpful ideas. I'll be back. read more

My main complaints about this store are the terrible selection and their hours, which are super-truncated to appeal to the ladies who lunch. Working people don't stand a chance. Don't waste your time expecting to purchase any projects or directions unless you enjoy the old fashioned, country look that hasn't been popular since the 1980's. They're located near-by and I still will go in for the occasional thread, but I know that when they first opened, they had a much more diverse selection. Unless you're interested in ducks and angels, you won't find anything worth cross-stitching. read more

If you go to this store prepare to be ignored, spoken to sarcastically and just being treated rudely. You will not be greeted when you enter, and you will be treated as though you are an interruption to their work. read more

great selection, terrible customer service. Ice cold atmosphere and you can get ignored the entire time you are there. I have been 3 times and left without purchases twice because ive been ignored while standing at the cash register for unbelievable amounts of time without even a "I'll be with you shortly". Im pretty much done visiting this store. read more

The first time I went to this store was four years ago. They had 'zero' customer service. No one said a word while I was there. I needed a large piece of fabric which I couldn't get at the hobby type stores. When someone finally did help me, she was so rude. Flash forward, I thought I'd give it another try. I am going to start another large project. I figured it was four years later, and I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. No change. No one said a word to me, not even a 'hello'. I took a tour around the store. Nothing. I left, never to return. Luckily, I live about fifteen minutes away, so I didn't go out of my way. Do not waste your time going here. I've had better service shopping online talking or emailing customer service people. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more
