I have never seen the point of stitching on paper - it surely can't last as long as stitching on cotton or linen fabric, and what is the point of doing all that work for it to disintegrate that much quicker? You can only frame it, you can't do any of the other things with it that you can if you stitches on fabric, ie cushions, quilts, aprons, household goods, babies articles etc. etc.
