r/PunchNeedle

Fabric arrived with some major creases, can I still use it or should I try straightening it before starting a project?

Since this will be my very first project, I thought to ask, so I don't accidentally find mid-project I can't work with it. The fabric in question is a monk's cloth.

My first punch needle

Just completed my first punch needle project. I love the look of cut pile. But how do you know when the trimming is done? Because it felt like I could trim forever… Any feedback or suggestion on how to make it better is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Punching away at another roly poly

Hi everyone! It’s me again, this time with a dairy cow isopod with a muted trans flag on its back. I meant to do a regular color scheme for it, but accidentally grabbed the wrong blue 😅 my typical color for this was stashed away elsewhere in the meantime

List of the supplies I use:

i can't start HELP

i've looked everywhere but nothing seems to help because my stitches keep coming out. like i can't even make one stitch without it coming out! i'm using a kit and the yarn moves smoothly through with no knots or caught on anything, i make sure not to pull it out too much and do the drag and my fabric is stretched out enough. apparently you're meant to put the whole needle through the fabric up to the handle but when i do that's when my stitches come out!! please help im desperate!!

Embroidery hoops for punch needle or gripper strip frame?

I see a lot of people using embroidery hoops for punch needle, is that the norm? Or should I get a gripper strip frame like Google AI recommends? Thank everyone

Punch needle kit switching embroidery?

Hi everyone! I was given this kit a while back, but I don’t have the tool needed to make this beautiful swan. Could I switch to embroidery instead, or do you have any other ideas on how I could use it without buying the tool?🦢♡

First project

Got a kit from Amazon to try it out before I commit to better materials. Really happy with how it turned out for a first attempt.
