NEEDLEWORK EMBROIDERY:
Needlepoint is a type of embroidery (the art of creating designs by use of a thread and a needle) with uniform spacing of stitches in a pattern.
While needlepoint designs are created with tapestry wool which is stitched on a mesh canvas, embroidery uses floss (silk thread) to create a picture or a design.
While the canvas used in needlepoint may either be pre-printed or pained with the preferred design or remain blank, embroidery involves pre-printed the desired design and stitching over the lines, hence filling the spaces.   
The most commonly used fabric in needlepoint is open weave canvas while embroidery uses fabrics such as satin, silk, cotton, Aida, and velvet. 
While the concept used in needlepoint is stitching over the design area and covering it with yarn or thread, embroidery involves stitching over the lines and filling in the shapes. 
WHILE NEEDLEPOINT IS STITCHED BY HAND, EMBROIDERY CAN EITHER BE DONE BY HAND OR MACHINERY. THE HIGH COST OF NEEDLEPOINT CANVASES IS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND LABOR THAT GOES INTO THEIR HAND PAINTING. BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE WITH INTRICATE DETAILS, A NEEDLEPOINT CANVAS MAY TAKE UP TO TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE.
