It can be done. I would not do it on pieces that need to be wet blocked but it's perfect for some situations.

It's something fun and different to try, particularly when getting the right shade to match a canvas seems impossible. It's also a good introduction to Needlepoint Flix in case you want to subscribe to this wonderful service. Here's more about how it all works. Right now there are nine complimentary videos so you can see what you are getting for the money.
