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.

What You Need 

The basics to get you started

  • Punch needles
  • Needle threader for punch needles
  • Embroidery floss
  • Embroidery hoop
  • Plain muslin (fine weave cotton) fabric for the base
  • Permanent ink pen to draw or trace your design onto the fabric.
