The 5 golden rules of the Punch needle

By definition, punch needle is a very easy relief embroidery technique. You only need an afternoon at home with your kit to get started.

  • Choosing the right materials (the most important thing)
    Yes, we are such a pain on this topic. But when we started it took us a long time to find a good punch needle that pierces the cloth like butter, a good embroidery hoop that allows a good grip on the cloth, a quality cloth that won’t leave the house looking like a barn and a good wool that will keep the loops hooked on the cloth.
  • Tighten the cloth perfectly on the embroidery hoop
    The cloth should be perfectly taut. From time to time you will need to retighten the cloth as you progress with your project. A good embroidery hoop is important for a better grip.
  • Pierce the cloth up to the wooden stop of the needle handle.
    You have to pierce the cloth without fear until you find the resistance of the lower part of the handle. Then softly lift the needle until it comes out of the cloth and pierce again.
  • Check that the wool strand is always WITHOUT tension.
    If the wool gets stuck, or you can’t continue punching, it is probably because the fibre is stuck or under tension.
  • Always finish and cut the wool on the side of the loops.
    When we say always, we mean always, regardless of whether the right side you want is a loop or the flat stitch.
