What Is Punch Needle Embroidery?

Like miniature hooked rugs, punch needle embroidered pieces are made by using a special needle that punches embroidery floss through fabric to make tiny loops. It's easy once you have the right tools and is a great way to use up leftover embroidery floss.

@amandabieber fuck the swine flu. That's all I can say. I would just punch the nurse out if she tried to stick a needle in me

@planetjune As soon as I can take a break from scholarly events, I'd love to maybe pick up a needle and punch a flower or two.
