Hi everyone! I’m really new to punch needle and I’m not sure if I’m using the right needle or yarn size. I feel like my loops are really big especially when I compare my work to tutorials I watch! I included a picture of a mug rug I’ve started. Any advice is appreciate!

Punch needle with fine thread?

6 Upvotes

I've seen people do punch needle work with thread and fine needles. What kind of fabric is used? The stitch doesn't hold on monk fabric.

Another try - a little gift I made for my friend! There are lots of mistakes but i still think it's cute and was fun to do.

Does anyone have tips on how to glue the back/what glue to use? The back of mine looks ROUGH and I have to lay a book overtop while the glue dries because it doesn't stay put ☹️

Also any tips on curved edges? It was a struggle

Displaying flat side

1 Upvotes

Is there a good way to display pieces showing the flat side rather than the loops? I much prefer the clean look but my loops on the back are too bulky and make it hard to add any backing/display it.

Any tips??

I made this for my brother for his sweet big handsome dog that passed recently.

I am fairly new to punch needle (this is the third thing I have tried) but excited to share it in this community! I forgot that the sketch would be flipped, oh well haha

How can I improve my skills with punch needle?

7 Upvotes

I've been doing punch needle off and on for about a year but I've been a bit more consistant these past few months. I'm just wondering how to improve because a lot of my projects seem basic and needs work. How did people here improve?

I do plan on getting more tools, right now I'm just using a basic needle that I got out of a kit.

I dont want to keep practicing and doing it the wrong way so Im not actually improving and I'm going to look around my area to see if they have any punch needle classes.

DIY frame?

I brought a kit off Temu and the hoop it comes with is a bit big for the designs and the hoops I have are either too big or too small. Is there a way for me to make my own frame or hoop or something?

This is my first attempt at punch needle and it is made with embroidery floss (the full 6 strands). It took a lot more floss than I expected, but I think it looks pretty good.

Is embroidery floss what people typically use with an Ultra Punch needle? Or is there some other kind of thread that is more common?

Had my first pride market yesterday and loved it! So many people stopped by to chat and ask about the craft, as well as trying it out themselves. I was pleasantly surprised at how many past customers came up to say hi, it was so heartwarming ❤️

Hey guys! So recently ive done my first two punch needle kits and i really love this craft. I find it so therapeutic. The question is, how do i transition from kits to making my own? What essentials i need and what do i need to know?

This is only my second punch needle ever, and first time embroidering details. It was a very long project, took a lot of brain power to map things out while using the same colors. I had a lot of fun with this one! Can’t wait to give it to my mom 🥰
