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

Learn how to do punch needle for beginners in this tutorial video. Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from Naztazia. In this video I show how to do the basics of punch needle embroidery and rug hooking. Punch needle is a vintage fiber art technique that creates straight stitches on one side of the cloth and loop stitches on the other. Monk's cloth or weavers cloth is used along with a punch needle tool and either yarn, thread, or embroidery floss. It's a wonderful art that works up fast and easy!

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

[@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

[@sharriehutt4573]

Great tutorial!! Easy to follow. Nice closeups of threading the needle and how to hold it. Thank you so much!!

[@naztazia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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.

[@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]

Wonderful!

[@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!

[@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]

[@naztazia]

My pleasure 😊

[@Happilyeveranders]

I've watched a bunch of videos and my yarn keeps pulling out, your video is the ONLY ONE that says to pull yarn through the hole of the punch needle after threading it through, I think that's why it wasn't working! I'm SO excited to go home and try this again, this looks like such a fun hobby =)

[@naztazia]

Glad the video could help!

[@junelittle5748]

Oh no another craft I think I have to try. Thanks for the video.

[@JerryAndJulieMusic]

[@naztazia]

Thanks 😊

[@JoyBradfordsisternchrist]

Ty for this video. I have the punch needle, but never have I seen different size needles. Very interesting... Now, my problem is, my stitches dnt. , Want to stay in once I stitch.. Could you plz. Help with this problem I'm having, plz. & ty. A true fan of you & the way you explain things to us so we, I can join along. Bless your heart. Miss: Joy Bradford 💖👆🌹🙏😇

[@naztazia]

If the stitches aren't staying in place, very often it has to do with the proper threading of the needle, or, it's important to push down through the fabric and then when you pull the tool back up, you don't let the tip go any farther up than the cloth level. Otherwise you end up pulling the stitch out. Sometimes a kit helps because they give you the tool, cloth, and yarn that all work together correctly. If you try and piece together things yourself sometimes you could end up with too large of a yarn or too small of a cloth, etc.

[@cherryb48]

My grandmother used to design her rugs..used burlap and wool strips

[@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.

[@bettyjoanderson1980]

Hi-l love how easy you make crocheting on here!! Your awesome! The only thing about this pattern … l don’t understand the turning part with doing 5 after what 3rd row. Do you add a chain each row? Please, help! And., thanks so much again!

[@naztazia]

I don't understand your question as this is a punch needle embroidery video.

[@terriacook5036]

Fun video

[@lizali578]

Thank you so much🥰 , Donna for introducing us Punch Needle technique. I love it and I’m sure my 90years old mom will love this too. Would you recommend me to any start up kit as beginner? Believe there’s International shipping to Hong Kong? Can’t wait to give it a go😃

[@naztazia]

In the video's description I included a link to my website that contains online sources for where I got my kits. I'm pretty sure most of the kits are actually made in Hong Kong, so you probably have a better selection than I do!

[@lizali578]

Thank you 😊 will give it a try here in HK

[@hobbylobbyy]

I am serching this kind of video for long time..my English is very bad...iam indian...so...sorry...agar kuchh worng likha ho❤😊

[@naztazia]

Happy this video could help! 🥰

[@munzzcrochetcreation9401]

Wow

[@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!

[@user-mk5lc3er6q]

Beautiful work

[@naztazia]

Thank you very much!

[@galy-uh6yg]

Thx.

[@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.

[@thesparkle1316]

Thankyou

[@naztazia]

Welcome!

[@emilycarrell3234]

Can you provide a link for the needle you got? I am searching for a smaller needle for more detailed art

[@zoilarivera8866]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@senqufetiya9361]

I really need

[@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.

[@HM-sx3fq]

Nice.. I have a question please. Can I use it on canvas which is using for painting? Or thick paper?

[@naztazia]

You'll need any type of woven cloth whereby the strands can open when the tool goes through and then quickly close back into place to help keep the yarn in place. Monks cloth and linen have always been the traditional choices for this type of work. That's not to say other textiles won't work, but most of us have just stuck with the traditional types as it produces consistently good results.

[@kathymanson7726]

Are you selling this kit:along with the needle puncher? Love your videos . fans of yours

[@naztazia]

I'm not, but I have a link in the description of this video that leads to my website, where I have link on there for where I got mine.

[@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

[@northgeorgiamom8956]

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

[@soniyavishwakarma3794]

❤

[@brendac2206]

If you use the design for a pillow, how do you keep the artwork from coming unraveled since it will be handled and washed?

[@naztazia]

You can apply a thin layer of fabric glue on the back side of the work in the loop areas to help keep them in place.

[@loodiamexican]

I didn't know this was a thing. Thanks for exposing me to yet another potentially wallet-draining hobby. 🤣 I need to save money and your channel is making that a monumental task!...To the craft store! 😃

[@naztazia]

Happy to help!

[@nicemazatlan]

Where i can buy the fabric. And yarn?
