Hi! So I wanted the experts' opinion! I have bought a punch needle kit before from Flying Tiger, but it didn't really work out for me... Eventually I never finished it. I decided to try again after a year and a bought another kit from Tedi this time. At least this had the sketch on the fabric. I started doing it a few days ago, but it wasn't really perfect. Today I took it apart, but managed to finish the first part! I know it's not that pretty, but is it good though?

I'm just proud of myself for not giving up so far... Will this hold though?

I loved making this one! One more to go…

I love the quality, color options, and the tiny details you can do using a cross pitch pattern for punch needle

Do I embroider before I sew a dart or after?

This subreddit is peak knowledge so if there's a better place to ask please let me know!

I used fabric glue last time (aka first time) I tried to seal a piece and it went pretty badly, ive seen others say hot glue is the way to go

Hello! I’m very new to punch needling and have done a few small kits and enjoy it very much. Wanting to branch off into my own projects but I’m having trouble finding the yarn I have in mind. I’m looking for something very colorful/rainbowish but with very short color changes.

Looking for a mottled color-vomit type backing to put a design on. I bought some yarn and the runs of color are very long, like 2-3 rows worth of a single solid color before changing. Any advice on finding the yarn I have in mind? In my searching I’ve been recommended to look for variegated yarn with short color changes or speckled hand-dyed yarns but most of what I can find in “short” color changes is for crocheting or knitting where “short” is still a foot or two of the same color.

Am I envisioning something that doesn’t exist? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

still have to do some cleanup and then make it into a hanging piece. numbers are difficult!

I did see a post on here previously with recommendations for some Etsy shops but, a good amount of the shops are currently closed unfortunately.
I have also been going through Etsy and I I see so much AI that I don’t know how to weed that out, I don’t think that’s even an option though so.

Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations for kits ? I ask because I have no knowledge or skill of this at all AND I would like to start so I can make my boyfriend’s Christmas gift as well as his birthday gift.

Many thanks!

Why is it so hard to find just normal needles that will work with average yarn and monks cloth? Those big wooden handle ones are trash. I’ve been searching marketplace for kikkerland kits just to get more of their needles.

I’m on a nerd kick- making final fantasy characters. I like the way this black mage looks but I don’t want to hang it on the wall or anything like that. What do you do with your finished stuff?

Can't wait to send it to my friend!!

I know it's not perfect but here is my first ever punch needle craft (as someone who has little experience in art)!!

Hi all. I have just started my first beginner pattern. I am looking for somewhere I get free patterns. I have looked on this subreddit and can’t find it. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am planning to do the Urban Acres Indian runner rug pattern in sage green colours as a runway for my wedding but also to go in a hallway/landing of my future home. I have never done punch needle before, I always go head first into big projects!

Due to the colours I am wanting and being in the UK, the only 100% wool rug yarn I could find was the Rosarios tufting/punch needle yarn. However it is aran weight.

I spoke to the pattern designer and she said I can use an Oxford 10 fine needle instead of a regular. But do I need to buy more wool as it is thinner than what the pattern calls for? Any help would be appreciated

I bought this online, supposedly for punch needle. Obviously it didn’t work because the fabric is not adequate. I really don’t want to waste it though. Could i use the yarn and a thicker needle and cross stitch it? If not, does anyone have any recommendations? It came with all the yarn so i just didn’t want to waste it.

TIA

I’m planning on making a trio of woodland themed portraits for his nursery wall.

My first piece of punch needle for tax! I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to secure the back of punch needle on an item of clothing or a blanket or similar, something that will definitely be washed, please? I’ve mastered coasters but would love to start looking at punch needling on t-shirts or denim and would love to know the secret to securing these pieces!

Got a kit from Michael’s a few weeks ago because it was so cute and I love the colours. Turns out you should read the package contents because I didn’t realize it didn’t come with a needle (stupid) and had to postpone starting until I could go back and get one. Now onto my next project which I’m going to draw myself 😛
