I am so glad I watched this. I did not know the back was actually the front. I'm excited to try my kit now. Thank you

[@scrapnstitchtawnya5423]

I have watched a lot of videos about punch needle embroidery and this has been the best explanation. Thank You! I now have a basic understanding and I believe I can give this craft another try.

[@debbiehilt7545]

Never heard of this til now looks fun.

[@catherinewiggins7958]

Thank you so much, this was the most helpful, straightforward tutorial for punch needling. Because of your helpful advice I was able to start my project right away. Excited to check out more tutorials!

[@AnomalousNormie]

This epxplains so much! I just learned about the existence of Punch Needles today and was wondering how it even secures the thread and if it's good for embroidering doll faces. The two "tutorials" I've seen merely showed how to thread the needle and then demonstrated only one stitch. When she flipped it over, it was like I had an epiphany. I'm glad I looked at this video first because who knows how frustrated I might've been running in circles with less informative tutorials.

i saw punch needles on tiktok. I might have a go. looks good.

[@datewaters7142]

Thanks so much, this video was very informative, well thought out and patiently explained!! I just bought several kits from Temu and they do not have any directions, so I was at a loss on how to even start! I feel confident now that I have watched this video. Thanks again.

[@bellrope1]

I love your hoop with the stand.

Great tutorial! Easy to follow and straight forward. Thanks!

Hi Amy, very interesting video. I am thinking of taking up punch needle embroidery (I have made a New Year's resolution to get my creative and to take up a new hobby) therefore I do have some questions that I would like to ask. Please may I ask as to whether you are using embroidery floss and if so, as to how many strands you are using. If I do take up punch needle embroidery, I aim to use an ultra point punch needle (as i would like to get more finer detail if it is possible to achieve, please tell me if it can be done). Can metallic coloured embroidery floss also be used (I live in the UK so please forgive me for using UK English). Can Cross Stitch patterns be used to create punch needle designs and what is the best way to do this (for example; two rows of embroidery floss per square as with an X per square in Cross stitch). I use an app on my phone which also has a website (which I use on my PC) called Pixel Stitch as with Pixel Stitch, I hope to be able to produce photo to punch needle and drawings to punch needle designs. What is the best way to blend colours in punch needle to achieve a 'realistic' effect (like clouds, sea, grass etc.). Despite the craft being called punch needle, can a regular embroidery needle like those used in Cross Stitch be used and is the technique the same as with a punch needle or will the starting and ending of 'stitches' be different. I also hope to sell my completed work and to do custom designs for people if I am requested to do so. Do you know if there is a market for this where you are in the USA (in the hope that there could be a market for it here in the UK). Please can all of these questions be answered as this is something that I am desperately needing answers on. Any help, advice and any tips will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards and may I wish you a Happy New Year. Emma J Gordon

[@michellewendt2022]

Thank you - so clear!

[@artbyvay]

What fabric do you use? I had gotten some but when I pressed the punch needle through, all it did was poke holes and didn’t snap back into place. And it was very hard to punch through.

[@natashaquijano6672]

The problem I have understanding… how does the stitches stay in place. Living through washing and drying?

[@alansmithee4150]

Yea I wondered that too!

[@vpenzol]

I'd use a fusible web on the backing if you plan to wash & wear your creation.

[@jemitdave4678]

What's that​@@vpenzol

[@barbaraproscia3275]

What keeps the stitches anchored in the fabric ?

[@maggie8317]

The fabric

[@novarain4048]

@@maggie8317 what kind of fabric do you have to use

[@ib5916]

i've seen some people cover the back side in glue to keep them in place

[@audrickmiguelalbarracin3249]

I am also wondering what to do so the threads will stay more in the fabric😉

[@sarahdoan-minh4325]

super helpful, thanks!

[@jiegao7537]

Thanks 🙏

[@artycraftydabbles]

I found this most frustration, how do you stop the treads pulling out?

[@kapushthethird]

Helpful, thanks.

[@shaimoh2273]

Are regular thin threads okay to use for these?

[@Karelife]

I’ve been using monks cloth now I want to do floss work. But I’m so afraid of the weavers cloth because it doesn’t have the holes like the monks cloth.

[@rhondasimmons8472]

How many strands of thread do I use

[@sonjiaedwards8556]

would you be able to use the needle punch on Felt fabric?

[@TheWoolery]

No it needs to be woven fabric. The felt would deteriorate after being punched through multiple times.

[@judithsegundaroa6083]

Thank you!

[@mesenfant4632]

What is the name of this fabric you are embroidering on?

[@jennifersnook2435]

what fabric do u use. can u use cotton

[@winningnumbers]

How many strands of floss are you using please?

[@TheWoolery]

We are using Valdani floss which you don't separate out by strand you use as is. If we were using DMC or another floss that you separate we would likely work with 2 or 3 strands for this project!

[@winningnumbers]

@@TheWoolery Thank you

[@francisfishing4913]

Thank you so much!

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

Is there a way to lock in the yarn/thread to allow it to be washable?

[@angelaherrmann879]

Glue the back

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

@@angelaherrmann879 Ok. Can you recommend a type of glue? I have not ever used glue this way before. Thanks by they way.

[@angelaherrmann879]

@Michael Archangel the fabric is supposed to hold it in. I'm still learning but have seen mod podge used in videos I've watched. I also saw that it it is on something that's going to get alot of use or will be worn to use fusible webbing on the back.

[@michaelarchangelthehammer]

@@angelaherrmann879 Ah, excellent, this I understand :) Thank you for your help!

[@waffa8470]

i really need help with the back when i pull it up it comes out 😔

[@nz-nz]

I got such a surprise when you turned it over and said THAT was the right side 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@dianaroot2964]

Where can I get one and how much

[@Sushilapatel5506]

Wheredid you get the stand hoop

[@alip.9740]

At the local craft store hardly any of the needles have sizes on them. We didn't want to invest in it if it didn't capture my child's interest. Does it matter? Because we are doing everything the videos say and the instructions but the thread is not staying in the fabric.

[@lighthousefan5538]

Where do you purchase that particular punch pen?

[@TheWoolery]

We sell it here: woolery.com/ultra-punch-needle-3-needle-set.html

[@rekhaojha6525]

It's cost?

[@Camionrouge]

Thanks!!!

[@margelloyd59]

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the first and last stitch on the underside? That's the way I've seen punch needle work done on all other sites.

[@JanisGagliardi]

Can’t the top of the piece be the right side?

[@nightshadekelly]

How does it not just come out

[@hashknight1]

how to not make it look like a rug?like on t-shirts and caps

[@TheWoolery]

This is the only texture this tool can make! If you want to make embroidery without loops you'll have to use a standard needle not a punch needle.

[@hashknight1]
