Best Answer

You turn any canvas while doing any embroidery to avoid building tension in any single direction. If you have your work oriented in a single direction, it will curl up perpendicular to the direction you have had your work oriented. Frequent small turns will avoid curling and help you create a much more satisfactory result.

What is counted needlepoint?

Counted needlepoint, like counted cross stitch, is done using a chart that shows every stitch you will be making, and each stitch corresponds to a thread on the canvas.
