I created this video with the RUclips Video Editor ( / editor )
If you don't mind a suggestion, what I do on vines and leaves, is punch the vine up to the leaf, then do the leaf, then back to the vine, to the next leaf, etc. No stopping, no jumping, no cutting.
Thank you, I too would do this as well, however, there was more than one thread color used for the leaves on this project. I appreciate your input and have been enjoying your youtube channel.
@@RondaTedder thanks. 😊
Thank you so much! I am having a hard time getting started with needle punch and your relaxed approach is just what I needed. Will be wrapping my top hoop with wool yarn and not cutting my thread as often!
Thank you. Gathered enough tools. Hesitate to start. Your tutorial instructions great help
Relax and have fun 👏
I’m just getting into all of this I’ve watched so many videos you are spot on perfect wonderful teacher I cannot wait to watch the rest of your videos thank you so much
Thank you, relax and have fun with it!
Thanks Ronda. A troubleshooting video would be great. Most all videos I have watched say to use a poly/cotton cloth, I.e., weavers cloth. But some say you can use 100% cotton. I can't find weavers cloth in our fabric or hobby stores, only cotton. Some videos say punch left to right, but I've seen people punch right to left, too. I would imagine the quality of the floss matters, too. So much to think about. I do love your videos.
Donna Nelson have you checked at Joann's, they usually have weavers cloth. If you get some of the woven interfacing you can punch on any fabric.
hi you can use a high count embroidery material a 28 or more is good.
Hi Samantha, I really don't believe that would work without a woven interfacing. I cross stitch with 36 and 40 count linens and would not try using it either. The weave needs to be tighter.
You have a very calm and soothing voice. Thank you for the hoop wrapping tip. Keep on doing videos. I enjoy watching and learning from you.
Annette VanMeerten thank you!
Beautiful punching! Very relaxing watching you! Have all my supplies ready, but afraid to take that first stitch! You make it look so easy!!
Thank you again, lovely to watch you do this. I quite like your tip for wrapping the outer frame in wool yarn.
THanks,, it does help!
I hope you make more videos!❤
They are very relaxing and a lot of help to my new hobby of punch needle!😊
Thank you for your helpful instruction, efficient method and simple tricks. Much appreciated!

Thankyou for the Punchneedle tutorial, it was very helpful!
I loved this tutorial ,Im also new to this craft and cannot wait to get my supplies and get started,I will look forward to more of your video's . You have me as a new follower from England xx
Jennifer Peters thank you so much! Have a great day!
Thank you
I am new to this and your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
You are so welcome, thanks for stopping by!
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to learn.
How do we secure the embroidery at the end and start so it does not come out just if thread is pulled accidently????I know there is not much need of securing the thread when we are doing a wall hanging or just a decoration thing,but in case of using this embroidery on clothes how do we secure the stitch????Please help!!!
Thank you for sharing all of your tips! Beautiful. Are you punching the leaves from the inside or outer part of the leaves? Angela
If you realize you did not fill with the punch in an area, do you go back and just fill in. I am a beginner.
Crystal Korzep Yes I do. When I first started I would take out and redo, just relax and have fun, go back and fill in the sparse spots, you can add a little to it by using another color for that fill in for texture.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Would you please demonstrate how you wrap your Morgan hoop. I like mine, but cannot keep the fabric taught. Thank you again for sharing your time.
I will try to do this ... thanks for visiting!
I am new to bunka. Is there any difference between bunka and punch needle craft? Where can I get the yarn or bunka kits?
Hello, what is the name of your type of scissor and where did you find them? Thx!
The scissors are by Gingher, bent applique scissors. I believe I got them on Amazon.
I have a question . Can you do punch knit needle on a regular counting cross stitch pattern?
This awesome ❤
Can I ask why you choose the Ultra Punch over the Oxford Punch needle? Thank you!
Bich Nguyen the ultra punch is for smaller threads, for yarns I do recommend the Oxford punch.
I just started punch needle. I bought a kit and a cameo ultra needle set. I've tried three strand floss in a small needle and six strand floss in a medium needle and I have problems with stitches pulling out all the time. I've pulled the floss out so many times and redone an area that the fabric has broken and now I can't punch needle it at all. I think I've gotten the fabric pulled tight enough, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My stitches look awful.
Donna Nelson hi Donna, it can be frustrating, make sure that you are not catching your thread on anything, it must run freely through your needle. If your fabric is too weak you can iron on some woven interfacing, you might need to adjust the depth of your needle fir the thickness. I am away tonight but will try to make some videos for troubleshooting soon.
Oh and also, do you punch on a single layer? Or do you double up the fafric, my weavers cloth looks so thin?
How do you tie off the ends
They are not tied, simply cut off close to work. If your fabric has been kept tight during punching the weave of the fiber will hold them in place. If you wish, some will use a fabric glue after punching is finished. You can dilute it with water and brush it on. I have never done this and have never had any problems. Thanks for viewing my video ✂️
I have bought all the punch needle things but when I go to punch it want take the thread what am I doing wrong my daughter is having the same problem
What kind of punch needle are you using and what size needle? What thread? Fabric?
I binged watched all of your videos and I'm hoping you'll make more of them. I really like to watch you punch-needling your way around a piece. Maybe I'm weird, but I find the rhythm very relaxing.
One question: Is the direction/angle of your needle at the back affect or alter the look at the front? 🌺
Hello, thanks for visiting! .. I have not noticed any difference in the finish regardless of the direction of my needle!
Thank you for taking the time to reply 🌺
I am waiting for a punch needle to arrive so that I can try this out. You make it look very easy but I wondered if it is tough on your wrists?
Hello, you have such good and clear videos, thanks,
I started punching and I notice that I punch really dence, but still I haven’t got the desired look in the front,
I work with dmc perlé nr 8 at the moment with the smallest needle on nr 2
I just ordered a bunch this morning of valdani threads nr 8 online, now I am worried, should I have ordered the nr 12 and work with 2 treads at a time like you do, maybe I still can change my online order and take the nr 12 instead. , bye
Danielle
Hello, thanks for viewing my video!! It just takes practice to get your desired look. One layer of fabric is all I use, if you feel it isn't thick enough, I would suggest using some iron-on woven interfacing, you might need to adjust the level of your needle for the added thickness. Have fun!!
Please help! I am new to needle punch and having a problem with the material tearing when I am trying to fill in spaces. Any suggestions? I am using weavers' cloth and a #102 needle with 3-strand floss. I have also tried with #8 thread. :( Quickly losing patience this this hobby! Thanks in advance for any guidance!
Abby Ann probably use a smaller needle or stronger fabric?
Do you pre-wash the weaver cloth before punching?
Hello! ... no I do not suggest you pre wash the weavers cloth.
Interesting to see your needle sideways, since I always hear the hole should be facing the direction of the stitch. I have had to undo almost a whole piece exactly because the needle pulled some stitches already made in rows next to what I was currently doing, so as I understand turning it sideways it prevents from happening?
Your technique of making the piece without having to cut the thread and start again is much simpler. However it ends up wasting more thread which can become somewhat costly.
Thank you for the great tutorial!
Thanks for visiting! In reality it doesn't really waste much thread, you control that by how far you move and how much thread you cut. Everytime you restart you must leave a tail. It does appear that you would waste more, but I have not personally found that to be true. Depending on how close you cut your thread to your piece, I find that the waste is pretty much the same. What I like is that I can just keep punching and then come back and do all the trimming. Keep working at it, once you get your groove, you will love it! Happy punching 🙋♀️
Ronda Tedder thanks for your reply. I find it boring to start all over again, so this tip will be useful in some situations where we use the same thread.
I don’t know if you have a tutorial where you mention it, but in case you find that the loops where undone on the wrong side, therefore the right side has a long thread as a result of the stitches coming off, what do you recommend? Cut that bit and punch again? I learnt the hard way by trying to undo that section and ruining everything next to it.
Thank you in advance!
@@helenai13 yes, punch needle is actually quite forgiving. I used to get so aggravated and pull it out. When you relax and realize you can easily fix an error it is so much more enjoyable. I used to pull it out when I didn't get close enough to the preceding stitches, then I realized I didn't need to pull out what I had already punched, but just go fill in. You can even jump down to a smaller needle to fill in if needed. My usual error was not making sure the thread flowed easily through my needle, like my hand or finger restricting it, sometimes it was my 🐈 with a paw on it.
@@RondaTedder thanks once more
How can I make sure it doesn't come off so easily??
I noticed when you did the stem of the vine, it filled in quite nicely with only one pass. Your stitches must be really close together. Approximately how far apart do you do the stitches? Thanks for showing your work.
Gemini Dolly hello, thank you for watching my videos. I try to keep my movement about the size of the needle, do I sound say using the medium needle about 1/16" stitch length and distance between rows.
You're great with the needle but you need a steady place for the phone because it ends up showing us nothing while you're working away dear. I would try taping the phone to something so you just have to worry about keeping your work in frame.
I checked you out because saw you were doing a leaf, I've been trying and trying but it makes a large hole any help ideas? Someone's video had similar problem and response mentioned using type of interfacing, can't remember who's video it was to read about it again...
Sue LaRose hi there, thanks for visiting! You can use woven interfacing. Make sure your thread is flowing freely
Hi. I hope you can help me, i am a beginner and cannot seem to figure out how to keep the stitching through the back. It keeps coming through.
Thank you. Love your work and so sorry for your loss xx
Hi Maria thank you kindly. Sorry I did not answer sooner. Are you using the weavers cloth? Making sure your threads are flowing freely through your needle?
Hi, thanks for posting. I have a question: When you cut the threads off at the back might that mean that they can be pulled out of the material very easily? How do they stay in without a knot?
Hannah Lord hi Hannah. The weavers cloth is a very tightly woven fabric, it is the weave of the fabric that holds the threads in place. If concerned I believe you could apply some fabric glue to the back, I have never done that but I am sure you could. You can punch on any fabric if you use an iron on woven interfacing, if wearable a fabric glue should be flexible and work fine. Kindly~ronda
Thank you Ronda, I really appreciate your reply. I am wanting to buy a very large amount of the weavers cloth. Do you know the best place online I might be able to get it as a 'bulk order'? Many thanks
Hannah Lord you are most welcome! I purchase all of my weavers cloth from punchneedle marketplace. They might sell in bulk, if not maybe they can advise you. Have a great day!
Canbyou wash this type of sewing? What could be done to keep stitches fron pulling during washing? I am wanting to make pillows that may need to be washed later due to children. I thought i wld try this as embroidery hurts my hands and i think i can do this. I hv the needle and now trying to learn how to use it properly.
Also, i am wanting to use 3 string embroidery floss. Is this the correct type of thread.
I am just subbing to your channel. This item you hv done is very pretty.
Angels Haven thank you! Washing gently by hand would be ok, make sure to use cold water, not all threads are colorfast. 3 strand is fine. You could spread s little fabric glue on the back side or my preference is to apply an iron on woven interfacing.
hi Ronda I was wondering if you are going to be making another punch video I love watch and listening to you punch I wish your videos were loner I've watched then more then a hundred times I live the way you do it . hope to see more soon I've made a few videos if you wanna check them out here on you tube see u soon
I'm new to punching and I am having a problem with my fabric ripping. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have been watching a lot of videos but this problem doesn't seem to get addressed (or maybe I've skipped over it somehow). But as I am punching the fabric I seem to create holes or rips in the fabric. Would you think you might know what I am doing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciate.
What size needle are you using? Are you using weavers cloth?
I was using just old fabric I had laying around the house at first then learned that I should use the weavers cloth, which I got some but still having the same problem. I have been using the med and large size needles. I was wondering if I am punching too close???
Are your loops staying in at all, or is it just that your fabric is getting rips and or holes? Too close would definitely cause it. If there is any way you could send me a picture of your punching I might be able to tell more. simplethymeprimsetsy@gmail.com
Some of the loops stay in and a lot don't. I ordered small and fine tips and hoping that will help (if not, it's getting very costly). I will take some pictures tomorrow and send to you. Thank you for trying to help me with this. I find it to be a beautiful art and would love to master it. I looked in my area for classes but was unable to find any so I am self taught and watching tons of videos on it. But I haven't come across anything that explains the ripping or what I'm doing to cause it. I will email you tomorrow. Thank you again.
I do believe that one thing that might cause this is you might be using too large of a needle for your thread, along with trying to punch too close. Will do some more testing.
Hi Ronda:
My name is Brenda, and I would like to please know how many strands , and what kind of wool do you use please in Punch Needle. I have made some pictures kits it comes with embroidery thread.
Looking forward to hearing from you, thank you very munch, :)
Hi Brenda, So sorry I missed seeing your question. If using embroidery thread I usually use all 6 strands of embroidery thread, you can also use perle cotton. Just make sure the needle size you use lets the thread flow through the needle freely. I don't use any wool, but there is a new thread that I have not tried, it is Moire thread. Hope to try this soon. If you wanted to punch on wool you would need to use an iron on woven interfacing. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much !!
I forgot to ask what is the name of your punch needle please?
You are most welcome! The punch needle I prefer to use is the Cameo Ultra Punch.
WOW!! I would love to do this! Where can I get the kit as I'm a beginner? also, does it have to be a certain type of material for this type of work? Thank You!!
It is a lot of fun! You can visit etsy.com for punch needle kits. You use weavers cloth, but can also use woven interfacing on just about any fabric you wish. Have a great day!
is a right way and a wrong to use your punching tool , I saw that you have to use it going a certain way
hi can some one spell the name of that thread please, is it volgarny?
The thread is by Valdani
thank you so much. not sure if we have it in the U.K.
Pls tell me thread name.pls reply me
I can’t seem to get ANY LOOPS at ALL!!! I’ve tried with the needle in both directions as I’ve seen instructions for both directions(bevel up AND down)-I’m just STABBING with ZERO RESULTS!! I’m so $&@ FRUSTRATED!!!!
Good morning Tammy! I am so sorry you are having trouble. Are you using weavers cloth? Is it being held drum tight?. Your thread should glide thru the needle freely. Make sure you are punching all the way down to the base of the needle and that your thread is not getting restricted anywhere.
And I'm sorry you are frustrated, I think this happens to everyone in the beginning. Have patience, it will come. ❤
How to treat back side using punch needles? Thanks for help
voice listener I do nothing to back side .. Thanks
Thank you Rhonda for your helpful videos! I always love picking up new tips from artists. I love punch needle! Especially the finished piece. Could you show some of your finished pieces and how you display them?
Ooops, just remembered you must work needle towards you or side by side. If you work it away from your stitches will pull out--ask me how I know...
they have the valdani floss on ebay in the U.K. but its so expensive.
It does seem expensive, but you have to take into account the yardage. It works out not being that much more expensive. I choked on the price at first, but once you get your base colors, it really does go quite far!
Hello, how is it called the scissors you use?
