I’ve done one of the michaels punch needle embroidery kits and it feels like the opposite of this experience. It used the exact same fabric but since it’s embroidery floss and a smaller punch needle, it was okay. It also had more than enough yarn. The hoop was also too small. I’m a beginner so I can’t speak to the quality of the punch needle itself though. Thanks for the thorough review!
Oooh thanks for sharing! Punch needle embroidery is overall more forgiving and more accessible than punch needle rug hooking, since you can use a wider variety of fabrics and thread/floss :) I definitely think the fabric included in the Michaels kit is better suited for a thinner punch needle + thread/floss-it's wild to me that the fabric is the same for both types of kits LOL
I would love to try punching needles. Is there a quality kit you would recommend for beginners? I am a crocheter, and I know that the quality of the tools can really impact one's experience. I don't want to spend a ton of money on just trying it out. Thanks very much.
Personally, I will always vouch for a punch needle kit from The Oxford Company or an Oxford Certified Punch Needle Instructor near you! You'll get some quality tools and materials to get you started with punch needle, curated for you by an actual puncher (and not some big corporation) :)
