Joining Your Carpet

A multitude of Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint kits can be composed into carpets or wall hangings to create a beautiful heirloom. With a selection of borders available, our kits offer endless creative possibilities.

Our kits include details on how to join your carpet. If you would like further instructions, you can purchase our master joining class here.

Our expert team in Wales also offers joining services. They will carefully join each of your Elizabeth Bradley needlepoint panels, finish the edge of the carpet with a whipping stitch, and ensure its longevity by hand-sewing hessian on the back of your piece. Hessian provides the loops to mount your piece as a wall hanging.
