First project

Power has been out since yesterday, so I had nothing to do but finally finish my first project. Doesn't look great, but we all start somewhere I guess

I think my loops are too big :c

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?

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.

Flowers

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

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??

Sweet baby boy

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

Something I did yesterday

Front, back and the design I used. I was bed rotting yesterday since the weatber was terrible so I made myself be crafty while I watched a show.

The eyes are a bit wonky T_T

Did you know you can punch needle directly into a Jean jacket? Made this for my best friend!

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?

My first project: A 60's-inspired lion patch

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?
