Do you know (or want to teach yourself) how to block needlepoint pieces to make them square? I think it involves using a square to get them lined up right, tacking them to a board to hold them that way, then pouring very hot water over them so they will fix in a squared position. I have 3 needlepoints that need squaring. I'm not super-attached to these pieces, so if you want to teach yourself this skill, here's an opportunity to practice.
