Just introduced to this and your tutorial is very easy to understand. I felt I was doing it along with you, and I don’t have a punch needle in hand. Thank you!!

This is such a great tutorial! I bought a different beginner kit off of Etsy and found myself struggling with the piece with the instructions they gave me but after finding this video I’ve been able to better get a hand of punch needling and the piece is turning out great! Will definitely be snagging a kit from your shop as well, as practice makes perfect (and I’m so bad at drawing my own patterns) Thank you for the content! Can’t wait to see what you produce next 🥺🥰

[@laurensleat1038]

[@nennychan]

Hi Nathalie! I just received my beginner's punch needle kit and it's delightful!! I'm so happy you made this video to help me get started. I was originally very intimidated by a lot of other people's beautiful pieces but your video really encouraged me and welcomed me to give it a try. Thank you so much! I hope you make more videos in the future. Your videos and insta posts have such a peaceful and pleasant vibes.

This is very clear and makes me wanna start needle punching! I’m excited- thank you for a clear explanation and tutorial!😊❤ Here is some good news for you by the way! For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ “and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬❤❤

Just discovered your channel and watched the “blue eucalyptus “ video first. Thoroughly enjoyed it, so soothing 😊So now I’m watching the beginner’s video. Your instruction is spot on. I would like to try this craft. I’m a seamstress, a knitter, an embroiderer, a painter. I tried to access your site to order the beginners kit but the internet won’t let me. I am in Montana USA. I wonder if others have had the same problem.

[@madebymeah]

Thank you. This is the best tutorial ever as I had been ripping my hair out as to why it wasn't working for me. Turns out I threaded incorrectly and wasn't holding yarn down on a practice kit. So the yarn wouldn't stay. Question on snipping if I want to display loopy side, which side do I snip any ends? ❤

[@neyviscot3638]

So beautiful 😍

[@blacklion5789]

Suddenly i want to buy this thing😌😌😌😌

[@jofrecia]

The video aesthetics are awesome,instructions are clare and overall relaxing yet informative! I've been wanting to try this craft, but do you think it will work on other fabrics as well? Like the canvas tote bags? Have you tried it before?
