I've been doing this craft for many years. I really enjoy this. I love personalizing pillow cases...etc. I use fabric glue to secure my stitches if it's something I'll need to wash.
This Canadian gal started this awesome hobby about 30 yrs ago. I've made numerous pictures for baby gifts & showers. I have lots of stamped prints to be ironed unto my fabric. It is very enjoyable & once you get the hang of it you will be totally addicted
Thank you, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I realized that I have a few punch needles, but I didn't know how to use them, now I do. I have always liked the rugs I've seen that were made this way, now I can plan one of my own. I did latch hooked rugs before.
Good morning 🌅 ma'am.. this day wakening with your new kind of craft. I've seen before but I don't know how to make it.. you taught us step by step very patiently... thanks for sharing this beautiful embroidery designs... I'll try it once... thank you for your love and God bless you always 🌹🌹🙏🌹🙏
Hi from New Zealand really enjoying watching your site you give such clear information I am having more success with needle punch because of you. Thankyou all the best.
Wow, what a fun looking hobby! Thanks so much Donna for going into clear detail, I've heard about punch needle years ago but never knew much about it. I'll be browsing around for a beginners kit, you've just given me something new to add in my hobbies and also for using up my large yarn stash with! Saving this tutorial in my library!
So far, this is the only video that shows what happens at the back. I would still like to know if you have to hold the loop from back with your other hand. Thank you so much for this video, was very helpful😊
If the tool is threaded correctly, and if the correct cloth is used, one does not need to hold onto the loop to keep it in place. It will stay in the correct place as long as there is a constant forward motion with the tool. Of course if the end product will be used for something like a pillow, very often a glue is painted along the reverse side to help hold the stitches in place permanently.
went from having 0 clue on how to do any of this with the kit I bought to making a (very bad but still fun!) heart shape on some spare fabric without having to even pause the video! excellent tutorial! :)
After watching this tutorial, I *HAD* to run to my local craft store and scoop up a couple needle punch kits... Such an entertaining way to pass the time! (Ended up having to take it easy for a few days due to an unexpected emergency dental surgery and this and catching up on other Nastazia videos DEFINITELY helped pass the time!) Keep up the AMAZING (and crafty) work Donna! You're the best I have found for tutorials, especially crocheting and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put in to your videos.
Thanks! I would go with a kit, one that has an embroidery hoop size of at least 6 inches along with regular yarn (not like the small 2-3 inch ornament hoops with embroidery floss). If you get a regular sized kit, the punch needle they give you is usually a good one for beginners.
Hello mam, iam a big fan of yours❤️ ....u are just amazing, ...i learnt crocheting by watching your videos...i was searching for this tutorial....n u have done this video also....very thankful to u.. loads of love 💕 from India....🙏
Ty for this video. I have the punch needle, but never have I seen different size needles. Very interesting... Now, my problem is, my stitches dnt. , Want to stay in once I stitch.. Could you plz. Help with this problem I'm having, plz. & ty. A true fan of you & the way you explain things to us so we, I can join along. Bless your heart. Miss: Joy Bradford 💖👆🌹🙏😇
If the stitches aren't staying in place, very often it has to do with the proper threading of the needle, or, it's important to push down through the fabric and then when you pull the tool back up, you don't let the tip go any farther up than the cloth level. Otherwise you end up pulling the stitch out. Sometimes a kit helps because they give you the tool, cloth, and yarn that all work together correctly. If you try and piece together things yourself sometimes you could end up with too large of a yarn or too small of a cloth, etc.
It's so pretty! I feel like this is so fragile because it's so easy to "undo" on accident. Especially if it's a pillow and a cat accidentally hooks their paws on it lol. Am I wrong?
It depends upon what you are using it for. If it's staying in a frame like my sample, there's no need to worry about it coming undone. If it's a pillow or other item, most people will paint a special fabric glue all along the underside to keep the stitches in place.
Hi-l love how easy you make crocheting on here!! Your awesome! The only thing about this pattern … l don’t understand the turning part with doing 5 after what 3rd row. Do you add a chain each row? Please, help! And., thanks so much again!
I’m just starting and I eventually want to do thread punch embroidery on sweaters, what do I use to make sure they stay in place when washer and dried? Or is that a completely different thing?
This is super helpful! Question: does the stitch”lock” in the back? Would this be an appropriate tool to use to outline and embroidery project? I have a very tiny punch need,e to be used with floss Thanks😊
It stays relatively secure as a decoration, but it does not lock 100% per se, like if one of my beagles decided to tug on a stitch. If the stitches need to not move whatsoever, most of the time a thin fabric glue is painted along the back so that the stitches do stay in place permanently. I love combining punch needle techniques with traditional embroidery.
Thank you so much🥰 , Donna for introducing us Punch Needle technique. I love it and I’m sure my 90years old mom will love this too. Would you recommend me to any start up kit as beginner? Believe there’s International shipping to Hong Kong? Can’t wait to give it a go😃
In the video's description I included a link to my website that contains online sources for where I got my kits. I'm pretty sure most of the kits are actually made in Hong Kong, so you probably have a better selection than I do!
Okay, this is helpful. I picked up a clearanced punch needle embroidery kit and have had nothing but trouble ever since. First, the kit did not supply all needed materials, which was stated in the very tiniest of print. So, I went and bought what I thought was the correct items only to find while following the directions that they did not list specifically what I needed, so back to yet another store who had the needed stuff. Then I have been trying to do this thing with the worst results you could ever imagine. I will follow your video exactly and just pray that I can master this thing. What do you recommend for items that may end up in the wash? Is there a way to secure the thread so it doesn't get unstitched as it goes through the wash cycle?
Most fiber artists paint or spray some sort of glue to the back so the stitches do not come out. The type of glue used depends upon usage of the item (rugs, pillows, wall decor, etc.). For small kits (like in an embroidery hoop), I get a small craft paint brush and paint a very thin layer of Aleene's Fabric Fusion (in a bottle, not the squeeze tubes) only over the back of the stitches (not the areas without stitches where just the fabric is by itself). Then I let dry and see how it reacts, and apply a few more layers as needed. Fabric Fusion items can be machine washed and dried once it is fully dried. For things like rugs, normally they use anything from Elmer's glue to latex carpet adhesive, again painting it along the back in a thin layer.
For most items that will be displayed in a frame like this, you don't need glue. If you want to make rugs, you can get a traditional rug glue and spread it along the entire back with a flat applicator to keep the loops in place.
Thank you. I am confused as to how it just stays in the fabric and doesn’t fall out 😅. Do you have to knot or sew the work to the fabric at any point? If I made a rug this way that people walked on, would it still not fall out ? Thanks
My sample butterfly in an embroidery frame is intended to be used as a decoration on the wall. The fabric bounces back sufficiently into shape to hold the stitch in place after pulling out the tool. Left alone on the wall, the yarn won't fall out. For rug making, that requires an additional step of painting a fabric glue along the other side without the loops to help the stitches more permanently stay in place.
I did this when I was a little girl. Oh my goodness I had so much fun doing it.
I've been doing this craft for many years. I really enjoy this. I love personalizing pillow cases...etc. I use fabric glue to secure my stitches if it's something I'll need to wash.
Thank you! I have had a punch needle set for 10 years and never figured it out by the crappy instructions that came with it.
Back in the 80's this was called needle punch. So glad i kept mine. This is fun to do.
This Canadian gal started this awesome hobby about 30 yrs ago. I've made numerous pictures for baby gifts & showers. I have lots of stamped prints to be ironed unto my fabric. It is very enjoyable & once you get the hang of it you will be totally addicted

@@naztazia Thanks!
Can u plz guide me..
How do u secure the stitches?
Especially for rugs and cushions?
Do u apply glue at back? If so which glue?
For most items that will be displayed in a frame like this, you don't need glue. If you want to make rugs, you can get a traditional rug glue and spread it along the entire back with a flat applicator to keep the loops in place.
