Abstract

Abstract A needlepoint sheet of flexible plastic material having a plurality of aligned rows of perforations for receiving thread-like material such as yarn therethrough. The sheet has at least one flat face which has pattern indicia imprinted directly on the flat face so that one may needlepoint a design in accordance with the pattern indicia or in accordance with instructions utilized in combination with the pattern indicia. The pattern indicia may take on the form of a pattern needlepoint design on the flat surface of the needlepoint sheet or it may consist of indicia on the border of the flat face at spaced intervals to assist one in locating specific perforations in the sheet for sewing a needlepoint design thereon. The side walls of each of the perforations are preferably in the form of a pyramid frustrum.
