Needlepoint Belt-Hand Stitched vs Custom Stitched (the real difference)

 If you’ve ever searched online for a custom needlepoint belt, you’ve probably seen terms like

“Custom stitched just for you!”

“Personalized needlepoint belt!”

“Handcrafted design!”

But here's the truth: Not all custom-stitched belts are actually hand-stitched.

🧵 What “Custom Stitched” Usually Means: 

Some brands use the term "custom stitched" to mean:

The belt was designed with a familiar icon with the stitching done by a machine and mass produced.  The belt can't be customize for initials or additional icons. The design will be simple a flag, a dog ….it  may not feel personal and is often machine made.  Stitches may cover and additional row or two on its design, they are not consistent stitches.
