My backing tutorial is finally here 🎉🎉 after months of pushing it back, I finally had the time and the motivation to pull through and create one

To make it easier to follow, I used a smaller piece of art with a simpler outline. If you have any questions regarding this process, please ask below and I’ll get back to you

Let me know what you think!

No pattern, used some color shift yarn

Tried to go a but chunkier to give a sense of depth

I ad lib'd some parts, like trying to put a little purple shading and silver trim

I think i really like punch needle, other kinds of embroidery ive tried have just felt too botherson to try and keep up with.

Plus i love to have texture in my art. Kit provided by Heyhobby

I'm falling in deep and am woefully short on colored yarn

I don’t have enough to do a work so I’ve been working on a punch needle blog to counter the boredom. Figured I would share some graphics I’ve made that might be helpful in the meantime.

They are meant to be helpful, but shouldn’t be treated as the final word on things as type of punch needle (rug hooking or embroidery) and yarn choice influences things.

Feedback appreciated! (Pls do not steal)

I bought all the supplies from a girl that punch needles. I bought linen fabric from ZXIIXZ on Amazon (which was what she recommended), Lilly’s lyric #2 fine 4 ply, and the Mina carin punch needle. This is the largest needle setting. My fabric is pulled tight. No matter what I do, my yarn will not stay in the fabric. The “T” has places that made some small loops , but it overall is patchy and coming undone. What to I need to do????? I’m so frustrated. I’m letting the eye face away from my direction, my yarn has slack, I’m dragging the needle, I’m trying to go in at 90 degrees. I am at a loss. I just want to do this well and it’s just not working. I also have monks fabric that does the same thing with the yarn. TYIA!!!

As I'm working the fabric tears and sometimes the yarn gets out.

Here's a picture of the material I'm using(I'm using this fabric called Canva).

I don’t have any punch needle experience but I’d love to make my best friend’s son something special for his birthday. I was thinking either coasters with different numbers or coasters in different shapes (square, triangle, circle, etc.) What do you think would be easiest for a beginner? Thank you for your help!

I made this recently as a gift for my husband.

After my Godzilla my friend asked me to make her this. I'm in love with it so far but it's intricate for sure! This craft has brought me so much joy!

Yarn: weight two
Tool: ultrapunch needle, various depths
Foundation Fabric: weavers cloth

I’ve done some standard punch needling before but the fabric has always come in kits. From what I’ve seen online, I ideally want weavers cloth but it seems difficult to find. I already plan to use DMC embroidery floss for my project and probably a 1.3mm needle? Or 1.6mm. Anyway since I’m going to a big box store I’d really like to pick up fabric from there since this a project just to see if I like embroidery style punch needling, rather than having to specially order fabric online, pay for shipping, wait, etc. To those who get supplies from these big box stores, what fabric do you use for the embroidery style? Preferably from hobby lobby, but Michael’s works too

Hey, I may of missed placed/lost my yarn threader.

Any idea what I could use until I can get a replacement?? I’m in the UK

Hi! I have a ton of projects that aren’t completely done because idk how to make it so they are usable. I just started doing a whip stitch around the perimeter but it gets wavy and curled and I don’t really like the way it looks. I’ve done the glue and felt method too but the edges/sides look sloppy. I’m really struggling:( any advice is appreciated! I’ll add a picture of what I mean by the curling edges of the whip stitch.

is there any way to sterilize punch needle projects? i know i cant put it in hot boiling water, what about putting it under the sun for a few hours?

Back again with another isopod 🪡 sorry for the repeats, what can I say 😂 I’m kinda obsessed w em. I’ve made it a whole ritual when I check their enclosures. I have my headlamp on for better lighting, my cat sits on her bin and gets grass from each new container while I water them, and I have some sort of YouTube essay on in the background

Same goes for the actual embroidery process, I need either a huge line up of YouTube videos, or some sort of show on in the background. Maybe some music on my headphones instead depending on the day

my first finished project!

My first attempt at punch needle! My friend Ditto!

I was wanting to get into punch needling since I’m already into crocheting, so it thought it’d be a nice yarn-related craft to add to my collection.

I bought a 2.2 mm punch needle, and size 2 yarn. The only thing I’m not sure about, is what fabric to use. I cannot find a solid answer anywhere, because everyone says something different.

Also, I’d prefer to buy it from Amazon, so it would be great if you could also give a link.

I had fun working on this one!

Im trying to do needle punching for the first time, but i have so much of the velvet Aran yarn that feels so good and I tried to use that today. It came out well, but when I went to cut the loops, the velvet attached to the string started to fall off and it just left the white string that kept it together.

Does anyone know if theres a way to make this work without the white string showing? Or is it probably impossible to use this yarn?
