−	Needlepoint, or canvas embroidery, is an ancient craft that goes back to the time of the Egyptians and was very popular both in the Middle Ages and the Victorian period. Needlepoint uses an open weave canvas as the basic ground material on top of which a design is stitched using a variety of threads. These threads may be silk, wool, cotton or other combinations.	+	Needlepoint, or canvas embroidery, is an ancient craft that goes back to the time of the Egyptians and was very popular both in the Middle Ages and the Victorian period. Needlepoint uses an open weave canvas as the basic ground material, on top of which a design is stitched using a variety of threads. These threads may be made from silk, wool, cotton or other combinations.

	===Thread Count===		===Thread Count===
−	Choosing a thread type depends on the canvas being used, which ~~comes~~ in a variety of mesh sizes, known as the thread count per inch. An open mesh canvas allows thick wool thread to be used resulting in a fast tallit bag design since less stitching is required. Closer mesh sizes allow for the use of finer thread which can be used to create very detailed designs. This painstaking stitching can take a while and is more suitable for the smaller tefilin bag.	+	Choosing a thread type depends on the canvas being used, which come in a variety of mesh sizes, known as the thread count per inch.

−	Needlepoint tefilin and tallit bag kits generally come with all the materials necessary to make the bags; the canvas, threads, design as well as a stitching instruction guide. Some companies prefer to just sell the canvas weave design alone, leaving the embroiderer to choose the quality, type and colors of the threads. An experienced needlepoint craftsperson can even buy all the individual elements themselves and design their own individual tefilin and tallit bag set, using a blank canvas. Even with ~~set~~ designs there is a lot of room for artistic personalization allowing creative individuals to create unique tallis and tefillin bags which will stand out in the synagogue for personal use or to give as a gift.	+	Needlepoint tefilin and tallit bag kits generally come with all the materials necessary to make the bags; the canvas, threads, design as well as a stitching instruction guide.
