All the companions disappear after you request you join them after level 60, making it impossible to finish the Necrolord Stitch House weeklies as well as farm Tahonta for the mount. Is this an intended thing or simply a glitch? I really don’t want to have to level numerous characters just to try to get the missing mount and transmogs.

Report as bug and try turning low level quest tracking.

Necrolord Stitchcrafting is critically broken. Once you accept a companion quest (Toothpick, Chordy, etc.), you get the head item to ‘summon’ the stitch companion. Upon using the item, the associated NPC ‘dissapears’ outside the stitch factory, and the blue ‘companion NPC’ doesn’t appear near you (nor does any extra action button become available).
I tried leaving a zone and re-entering, relogging, reloading UI, doesn’t fix it.
What I did find: If you swap covenants to Venthyr then back to Necrolord (what I did) all the associated NPCs that had dissapeared from using their head items returned in the Stitchworks area. I picked up the Toothpick quest again (Digging Around, Revendreth edition) and used the head item again. I get quest credit “1/1 Recruit Toothpick” but the blue companion NPC does not appear and the associated questgiver NPC dissapears and does not return. I tried with other companion abominations, such as Chordy and Atticus, and the same issue occurs.
I fear that, until Blizzard acknowledges this bug and fixes it, a majority, if not all, of the quests associated with Necrolord Stitchworks are effectively broken/unplayable. Unfortunate for me, as the Digging Around quest is what I was looking to farm for to finish my Fashion Abomination achievement. I also was going to use this week’s Darkmoon Faire to finish off the necessary reputation to hit Exalted and buy the mounts off Atticus.

Sounds like they accidentally made things require level 60 instead of 60 and above.
Who knows when/if the issue will get fixed. It’s old content, so there’s no guarantee that the bugs relating to it will ever get fixed.
It’s one reason to not wait until the expansion is over to do most things, though unfortunately, Shadowlands was by far one of the most alt-unfriendly expansions they ever did and on top of everything else, there was also the pandemic that caused a portion of the player base to not be able to play as well.
I really hope they don’t just leave the Necrolord Stitch House quests broken for months or years because not everyone got a chance to play the content while it was relevant.
