I don't know this sort of embroidery. I wonder how the thread stays on the other side - under- when you pull it up. Very beautiful 😍

[@hardylisette2756]

U bent een Nederlandse

[@mamahoela]

Hi, the loops stay in place because you place so many of them that the fabric is completely full and under some pressure.

[@mauroscagliotti8612]

@@mamahoela I see but it is not really resistant if you want to wear them right? It is ok for hangin on the wall and such, but if you move, pull, wear them, they come out imeasily I guess? Is there a way to fix them on the other side to make them sturdier and wearable?

[@mamahoela]

@@mauroscagliotti8612 hi, there is: you can iron on some interfacing on the back, or you can apply a thin layer of textile glue to the back. This does not make the fabric very supple however. Hope that helps, have fun! Best Eva

Love this video ! I got a pinch needle from my husband 35 years ago. He bought it in Africa during a business trip. There was no manual ( and no internet those days) to look it up. I couldn’t figure out how it worked😢. Being a very creative person I would have loved it ! Now I cannot find the needle anymore. But I think I will buy a new one !

[@mamahoela]

Ah that's a shame, but indeed, it's never to late to pick it up :)

[@tamaravidnjic4170]

I saw it on tiktok and I liked it and ordered that needle today, I can't wait for it to arrive, it seems fun. 😄😄

If you don't tie off the thread won't it eventually unravel? I'm referring to after you are showing us how to make loops in the front after the green of the A

[@julessteele2952]

Surprisingly, no! When you have that many tight stitches in the fabric the yarn/thread won't budge even if you cut off the end.

[@janejane946]

I always wonder if you are done with punching and your work is complete, won't the stitches get unstitched from behind if you move or touch it too much? Can I do it on my T-shirts?

[@unstableoutlook]

How do you keep the stiches to stay when finished? Its just loose loops on the back. Wont it easily pull out ?

[@artistic_world0029]

Same question

[@sanasarfraz7392]

same question...how to secure ends

[@stringcheese6833]

The tightness of the cloth around the loop will keep projects from unraveling. The cloth is stretched a bit on the embroidery hoop. Once she takes it off the hoop, the cloth will tighten around the stitches as it relaxes and hold them in place.

[@artistic_world0029]

@@stringcheese6833 tysm

[@mamahoela]

Hi Sana, there is no need to secure the ends, you can just cut them off at the length of the loops.

Nice stitching. First time seeing something like this. Can u pls show how to put a knot?

[@mamahoela]

You can cut off the yarn at the length of the loops in the back of the work - no need for a knot. If you've used the right needle size and yarn for your fabric, the stitches should not come out.

How do you keep the thread secure in the fabric? My stitches just pull right out. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Help!

[@sowjanyag2866]

Which fabric r u using

[@mamahoela]

Hi! Usually the problem is not using the right yarn with the fabric. You might like to experiment with thicker yarn. Other issues can include: not winding enough yarn from the ball so that there is tension and not pushing the needle into the fabric all the way. Hope that helps!

[@4KindnessGal]

[@sofiathomas1383]

What type of clothes required for this ?Is there any particular cloth for doing punch needle?

[@mamahoela]

Hi Sofia, the fabric that is most often sold as particular 'punch needle fabric' is monk's cloth, but you can use linen or jute as well. In fact, any fabric with a simple weave structure can be used, it all depends on the right combination of fabric and yarn. Coarser weaves should be used with thicker yarn, as I do in this video. Hope that helps!

Hi Lovely work. What kind of thread do use?

I've used a simple 100% cotton here, but you can use any type of yarn as long as it suits the size of the needle.

[@artsycraftsyhoc]

[@gracegorman642]

[@chelseameehan8377]

Hoping you see and respond! So if I want to have words, it doesn't need to be in reverse if I trace in the top? I'm very confused with the videos I've been seeing about reverse and not and underneath or on top of the fabric

[@mamahoela]

Hi Chelsea. If you have words and you trace on top of the fabric, you do not need to reverse the letters. If you have words and you trace underneath, you do need to reverse. Whenever you're confused, just trace your shape using your intended method on a piece of paper clearly marked 'back' and 'front' to test it out, that way you can be sure! Good luck

Monk Cloth.

[@mamahoela]

Hi, I'm using jute/burlap but monk's cloth is also common. If it's not working, you likely need to work on the combination of yarn, needle and fabric. I'm using a thick needle and thick cotton yarn here.

What exactly is supposed to hold the thread in back so it doesn't come loose? Every time I punch through and then pull the tool out, the loop doesn't stay secure in back so....?

[@mamahoela]

The stitches remain secure with the right combination of fabric, needle size and yarn thickness. If the yarn is thick enough and the needle holes are not too big, you should be ok. Please also check out the '7 common punch needle mistakes' video on my channel for more tips on how to make sure your stitches stay in place!
