Cat pulled out a thread of a new pillow. How do we fix it?

Cat pulled out a thread of a new pillow. How do we fix it?

Got the pillow in Nashville while on vacation so replacing it isn’t really feasible, and we’ve had the pillow for less than a week

Flat stitch for the background?

Sorry if I’m not using the terms correctly, but I can’t decide if I want to or I’m supposed to use the loop method for the background which is black or just flat stitch. I don’t know what would you guys do?

Beginner

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?

Anyone else love using dmc thread for punch needle?

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

I’m building a pattern-making tool for punch needle — what would actually be useful to you?

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m the developer of Rugmi, an iOS app I’ve been working on for creating patterns for punch needle, tufting, and latch hook.

One of the things I’m trying to make easier is going from a photo or illustration to a pattern you can actually work with — simplifying the design, reducing and adjusting colors, setting the finished size, estimating yarn, and preparing the pattern for transfer.

I’d really love some input specifically from punch needle crafters before I decide what to work on next.

How do you usually prepare and transfer your designs? And what part of that process do you wish was easier or less manual?

Mostly looking for honest feedback and ideas. 🙂

Needles

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.

What do y’all do with the finished product?

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?

Legitimate kit recommendations ?

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!

Help! What can i do with this?

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

Help with runner rug and yarn weight

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
