PUNCH NEEDLE for BEGINNERS - Embroidery and Rug Making Tutorial by Naztazia

[@LadyE77]

I did this when I was a little girl. Oh my goodness I had so much fun doing it.

[@paulaspangler3066]

Back in the 80's this was called needle punch. So glad i kept mine. This is fun to do.

[@melindaunknown6411]

Thank you! I have had a punch needle set for 10 years and never figured it out by the crappy instructions that came with it.

[@allisonstory6012]

I've been doing this craft for many years. I really enjoy this. I love personalizing pillow cases...etc. I use fabric glue to secure my stitches if it's something I'll need to wash.

[@jannetteanderson5068]

This Canadian gal started this awesome hobby about 30 yrs ago. I've made numerous pictures for baby gifts & showers. I have lots of stamped prints to be ironed unto my fabric. It is very enjoyable & once you get the hang of it you will be totally addicted

[@ymottspice]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I realized that I have a few punch needles, but I didn't know how to use them, now I do. I have always liked the rugs I've seen that were made this way, now I can plan one of my own. I did latch hooked rugs before.

[@naztazia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nicolebriggs1114]

I absolutely love how you explain each craft and each pattern. I especially like your crochet tutorials.

[@naztazia]

Thank you so much!

Aren't you the best Naztazia🥰 I don't care for the videos as I do for your voice. Always soothing 😌

[@winterblommetjie]

This will look so great on the side of a canvas tote bag. Thanks Donna❤

[@naztazia]

Great idea!!

[@RIODJENIRO1]

Wow, what a fun looking hobby! Thanks so much Donna for going into clear detail, I've heard about punch needle years ago but never knew much about it. I'll be browsing around for a beginners kit, you've just given me something new to add in my hobbies and also for using up my large yarn stash with! Saving this tutorial in my library!

[@naztazia]

[@Amy_The_unbearded]

After watching this tutorial, I *HAD* to run to my local craft store and scoop up a couple needle punch kits... Such an entertaining way to pass the time! (Ended up having to take it easy for a few days due to an unexpected emergency dental surgery and this and catching up on other Nastazia videos DEFINITELY helped pass the time!) Keep up the AMAZING (and crafty) work Donna! You're the best I have found for tutorials, especially crocheting and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos.

[@naztazia]

[@Radhavimoksh]

Thanks a lot for your presentation. lt was very helpful.❤️

[@albanadervishi]

It's so pretty! I feel like this is so fragile because it's so easy to "undo" on accident. Especially if it's a pillow and a cat accidentally hooks their paws on it lol. Am I wrong?

[@naztazia]

It depends upon what you are using it for. If it's staying in a frame like my sample, there's no need to worry about it coming undone. If it's a pillow or other item, most people will paint a special fabric glue all along the underside to keep the stitches in place.

[@poonamsoni4848]

Hi, you teach so well. Thank you .

[@naztazia]

You are welcome!

[@bleusilver990]

I’ve always wanted to try this ,thanks😊

[@kisaki-Naki-Hana]

Question. If the back looks better than the front is that okay? Do I use the back instead of the front????

[@naztazia]

It is perfectly fine to use either side as the "front" displayed side or the "back" reverse side. Normally the side with the loops on them is the better looking side, however, if the design looks better with the flat stitches, that is fine too to display!

[@bhagyalatamaharana5161]

[@knottheendcrochet]

Thank you for showing this. I have seen it at Hobby Lobby and was thinking about trying it.🙂👍🏽

[@keynedaisy5279]

This video is amazing, I'm a beginner and wanted to know what's the best needle to start with

[@naztazia]

Thanks! I would go with a kit, one that has an embroidery hoop size of at least 6 inches along with regular yarn (not like the small 2-3 inch ornament hoops with embroidery floss). If you get a regular sized kit, the punch needle they give you is usually a good one for beginners.

[@zebdel]

Hi, is there a way to prevent it from falling apart after the job is done? For example, if someone accidentally pulls a thread.

[@candismetz5650]

Just my opinion, I would thread the yarn ends through the loops and tie on the back side. I tie everything. After all that work, it is NOT coming apart.

[@zebdel]

@@candismetz5650 it would be a lot of work, but it would indeed be the safe way. Thank you.

[@StrongSpottedDoe]

Rug glue?

[@zebdel]

@@StrongSpottedDoe yep, this is the easy way, it will work for me because I am not that patient. Thank you.

[@twinkletwinkle1208]

So far, this is the only video that shows what happens at the back. I would still like to know if you have to hold the loop from back with your other hand. Thank you so much for this video, was very helpful😊

[@naztazia]

If the tool is threaded correctly, and if the correct cloth is used, one does not need to hold onto the loop to keep it in place. It will stay in the correct place as long as there is a constant forward motion with the tool. Of course if the end product will be used for something like a pillow, very often a glue is painted along the reverse side to help hold the stitches in place permanently.

[@sudhamishra924]

Thanks for sharing sister ❤❤❤I love your chenal ❤❤❤❤

[@naztazia]

Most welcome 😊

[@lizv.418]

[@donnapodhurst6552]

This looks neat. I have had a set/kit of this for a few years but did not know what to do with it.

[@naztazia]

Happy to help!

[@WompWomp1738]

I’m just starting and I eventually want to do thread punch embroidery on sweaters, what do I use to make sure they stay in place when washer and dried? Or is that a completely different thing?

[@Innocent-G7]

So beautiful 😍😍😍😍

[@suewiley1422]

Omg, so excited to see you're doing this!!!

[@minaysuscosturas.]

Hermoso trabajo.😍👍

[@sarahjahangir4144]

Can u plz guide me.. How do u secure the stitches? Especially for rugs and cushions? Do u apply glue at back? If so which glue?

[@naztazia]

For most items that will be displayed in a frame like this, you don't need glue. If you want to make rugs, you can get a traditional rug glue and spread it along the entire back with a flat applicator to keep the loops in place.

[@aminaattar833]

[@shamaembroidery]

Very interesting thanks for sharing👌👌👌

[@_neha_inspiration_4389]

But when we accomplish this, will the whole punching be opened by pulling one of its threads at the end?

[@naztazia]

It could, which is why this technique is used for decorative items like wall decor where no one is going to pull at them. Or, if this will be used for a pillow where the loops might get pulled out, fabric glue is usually painted all over the back of the work to keep the stitches in place permanently.

[@sammunoz4017]

Do we have to do cross stitch in the back? Or will the thread be okay without it?

[@northgeorgiamom8956]

What size punch needle did you use with that particular thread?? Thank you!!

[@timcook6178]

Thank you. I am confused as to how it just stays in the fabric and doesn’t fall out 😅. Do you have to knot or sew the work to the fabric at any point? If I made a rug this way that people walked on, would it still not fall out ? Thanks

[@naztazia]

My sample butterfly in an embroidery frame is intended to be used as a decoration on the wall. The fabric bounces back sufficiently into shape to hold the stitch in place after pulling out the tool. Left alone on the wall, the yarn won't fall out. For rug making, that requires an additional step of painting a fabric glue along the other side without the loops to help the stitches more permanently stay in place.

[@kawishCorner1792]

😊 greatly appreciated the effort 👌

[@naztazia]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@handmadesophiegreece4608]

Wonderful, my dear friend ! Greetings !

[@beautifulgirls11]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial! I have a question, please. What size punch needle is good to use with ww yarn? I’ve seen the needles marked different numbers but not sure how they work. Thank you.

[@naztazia]

The different punch needle manufacturers aren't always consistent with their numbering system. If using Oxford punch needles, most use the #10 regular with worsted weight yarn. Usually there's regular and fine. Regular is for the medium yarns, while fine is for the thinner yarns. Normally the numbers mean the height of the loop, although #8 produces a longer loop than #14. Not exactly easy to figure out!

[@sotirioukostakis5690]

I wanted to ask because I will start this kind of thing for the first time, what fabric can I use because I have tried it and it destroy. I got the fabric with the holes but it is hard

[@frozenstone1787]

Very interesting Thank you 😊

[@DorchesterMom]

This is super helpful! Question: does the stitch”lock” in the back? Would this be an appropriate tool to use to outline and embroidery project? I have a very tiny punch need,e to be used with floss Thanks😊

[@naztazia]

It stays relatively secure as a decoration, but it does not lock 100% per se, like if one of my beagles decided to tug on a stitch. If the stitches need to not move whatsoever, most of the time a thin fabric glue is painted along the back so that the stitches do stay in place permanently. I love combining punch needle techniques with traditional embroidery.

[@sumitachakraborty8400]

How can I get those embrroidery making tools?
