Editorial Policy

Cobweb Needlework publishes editorial content about hand stitching and textile craft. This page sets out the standards the magazine follows.

Editorial scope. The magazine covers practical hand-stitching instruction, textile traditions, and small project guidance. Content is organised into three sections: Stitch Techniques, Textile Traditions, and Project Guides. Each article sits within one section and follows that section's purpose.

Sourcing. Articles draw on published books, museum and archive records, and documented textile practice. Where a claim depends on a specific source, the article indicates that source. The magazine does not present invented interviews, invented makers, or invented historical objects.

Independence. Cobweb Needlework is a new and independent editorial publication. It is not a school, a shop, a stitching service, or a continuation of an earlier entity. It accepts no responsibility for goods or services offered by others.

Illustrations. Images used across the magazine are AI generated and serve as illustrations only. They are not photographs of real finished work and are not evidence of a tested sample or a historical object.

Corrections. Readers may request a correction by identifying the article title, section, and publication date, quoting the passage, and supplying evidence such as a book reference, a museum record, or a dated primary source. The editorial team reviews each request and updates an article when the evidence supports a change. Decisions rest with the magazine.

Accuracy and limits. The magazine aims for clear, practical, and contextual writing. It does not guarantee that any technique will suit every material or purpose, and readers remain responsible for their own work.
