I like punch needle, too. My husband hates the way it sounds when I'm doing it. Do you steam your pieces before you finish them? Thanks for sharing this!

When I lived in Hawaii, I got all of the stuff and the lady at the flea market was great on showing you how to to them. I loved it. Then with moving around in the military I got out of it. I started getting some of the stuff in the past couple of yrs to start again, including the really small needles but haven't found a good book and I don't remember all the do and do nots that come with it. Plus I've been getting into embroidery along with quilting and making clothes so it's on the to do list, eventually.

The best thing to do is a search on punch needle and you can get good info and pictures
