Punch needlework or rug making?
#1
Anyone know anything about punch needlework, I bought a kit, and even took it back to the store for instruction and THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER!!! So now I'm trying to learn quilting, machine embroidery and punch needlework???? HAVE I LOST MY MIND? probably but that's ok, it keeps me off the streets.

If you are on dial up, can you go to a friends or the library where there is high speed?

Hang in there - Holidays are always a bad time when things in our lives aren't going as we would like.
just ask me I know - this has been a very bad year for me and more to come in 2010.
God willing we will all get through the bad times.

I do punch needle. I haven't done any in a while, but I LOVE it! I made the mistake of too many punches. It looks better on the back (flat) side and wants to bow instead of lying flat. It wouldn't bow if I put it in a hoop or project, but it still would've looked better without so many stitches.
Make sure you have the woven fabric. It will pull out of regular muslin.
Some of the needles have different settings to make the loops bigger or smaller. I usually use a medium setting. I can't remember what number. It's been a while since I've "punched".
