Hey guys! Little update since I filmed this. The fabric you can use is called monkscloth. Punch needle will not work on calico. I’ve left a link in the description to the fabric I got on amazon but if you are searching in the uk try The Village Haberdashery as well for official monkscloth, it’s not cheap but worth it to get good quality (from what I have experienced since making this). Another question I get a lot is how to finish them so that the threads don’t come out or loose. You can use interfacing iron on fabric on your ‘back’ (the side you don’t want to show). As well as this you can just back with felt if it’s for wall art & with a tight punch needle weave (lots of them next to eachother) they shouldn’t come loose because the fabric weave is designed to hold the yarn in place. I hope that helps! :) xxx

The little tip about holding first thread before getting started has really helped and I’m no longer really frustrated with it all! Thanks

Finally a video that shows what fabric to use and suggestions on yarn!

finaly a video that show the back how it looks thnx

As a tip when you start your next project (where the 'right side' is to have the fluffy/looped effect) try working your thread from the other side of your hoop (i.e. so that the top of the 'drum skin' has the non loopy side and the other side, in rather than the other way around) If you are working to a drawn pattern you just need to remember to reverse it because you will be working from the 'wrong side' You will find it much easier, quicker and safer to work with as you gain experience.

Thank you so much for putting this together. I've been looking for a beginner's needlepunch tutorial for ages and this was very detailed and explained everything. Plus, I'm in the UK so that was good too x

Completely new. Watching this video instead of reading the instructions because I am a visual learner and autistic so videos work best for me

You. Are a good teacher in 1000 of videos i didn't get that how this tread stay in other side but u explain everything in details thank you. So much god bless you 💐🥰💐🥰💐😘

Thank goodness I've found you. I was looking for a uk based tutorial. You broke down step by step on the needle and fabric . You're explation on everything else was clear thank you 😁👍

Thank you, so much easier to understand than most of the other tutorials on KZfaq

Of all the videos I've seen this is the best and easiest to learn thank you

Just got a needle punch kit for Christmas. This was very helpful! This is much more challenging than I expected!

Good morning I did my first punch needle. Thank you so much for your teaching and showing me.

Wow this my first time looking at your video I love it. I am a wheelchair user and I does embroidery stitches but i never try the punch needle .I will practice the punch needle stitch. I just love it ❤

Just a few tips as been doing it for years, you CAN use calico thats all I use, dont leave such a long tail you only need about an inch. You dont need thick wool you can use embroidary cotton comes out eautifully

Such a sweet video, really made it make sense for me and lovely to see something UK-centric for finding tools and materials. Thank you 🤍

This was just so so helpful. I can't thank you enough for making this. You channel is amazing and I am just so happy and glad that I found this because this has helped me a lot! Thank you!

Oh so cute! Another craft to give a go on I've always wanted to try! Looks super easy with practice first. I've always liked the look of needle punch, grandmas sofa pillows with a rose along next to a needlepoint pillow. I wanted to try after seeing a set of coasters in needle punch. Thanks for the instructions and tips!

Thanks for teaching me something new. Lovely tutorial.🌞

I got a couple begginer's kits for Christmas and I was having a bit of trouble with it. This video helped a lot, and I felt a bit more confident afterwards. Thank you! 😊

The most helpful n best video...I watched lot of videos but no one can really help... thank you ❤️

Love this! Thank you. This is my 2024 skill I want to learn to add to my portfolio! ❤

Thanks for this! Ordered a punch starter kit to get through this 3rd lockdown 😅

Very helpful video for someone who doesn’t know anything about it like myself

This is excellent tutorial, I bought a kit but could not understand the instructions, your tutorial was so easy to follow, cant wait to start my kit, Thank you so much.

Wow, finally someone who can teach.

This helped me so much- I bought this low quality $5 kit and the instructions were really hard to understand ;-; I saw this and watched it and like- this video helped me so much :DDD

Thanks so much for your advice, I have been wanting to do this for a long time now and you have definitely made it easier for me to understand.

This is what i was looking for.. thank you so much.. you made my future years .. because i really wanted to learn this but could not understand how to handle the thread.

Great beginner tips as i am a beginner at punch needle/needlepoint. And all my stitches when i punched down would slowly pulled out as i went. I was thinking i needed a different size needle punch tool because i was working with embroidery floss more then what you had in this video yarn. However i realized after i held the floss in the back as i punched the stitches are going well. It really is key to have a finger holding previous stitch in the back when punching down on new stitches.

Hi, thank you sooo much for showing the back as you were working it. I was worried I was doing it wrong. I've recently started and couldn't work out the back. I cross stitch normally so trying to get used to holding the material and hoop differently was a bit tricky. I'll definitely be watching your vid a few more times 😂

Can’t wait to start this new hobby you have made it look simple. Will keep me busy when not working. My daughter is gonna draw designs. x

You are so so so awesome. These tips are so useful. I was worried I wouldn’t get it but thank you so much

Thank you for the detailed explanation on how to properly start a punch needle project, I was ready to give up until I saw this :)

Really enjoyed the tutorial I bought my kit from the internet last Christmas it looked so complicated I didn't try it, now I am determined to have a go. Thank you.

Thank you so much for posting this video, Paige. I have never done needle punching and would like to start. After watching your video I think I will definitely give it a try.

I just started on my first project. I’m excited to have smooth stitches soon… with practice. Waiting for a black yarn to finish and then look forward to cutting the top to make my flowers have different petals :-) great video- thank you

I should have watched this before I started with the kit I got at the craft store. LOL. Oh well. Thanks for making this. Super helpful!

Thank u for this tutorial!! I was getting so discouraged because everyone made it seem so easy and kept saying its SOO simple i was starting to feel dumb :/ but ur video has given me the hope to keep trying and trying :) tysm!!

This is such an informative and practical tutorial. Excellent video! Thank you!

Hey me and my granddaughter just found your channel since she wanted a needle punch and we didn't know how thank you

Anyone into needlecraft who could suggest another simplistic but enjoyable craft. This doesn't seem too difficult but its for a stroke patient who also has dementia and I wonder if they may struggle threading the needle. They always loved crafts so really want to encourage them to continue

Would be good to see a baby, toddler book done with this technique , not sure I have the patience. Thank you a good demonstration.

Thank you! Great instruction.🙂

I'am so happy I find your channel it's help me a lot as beginner.😊✨

Also another problem arose that you may not get with bigger yarn punch tools as with embroidery floss i am realizing because the stitches are so small and together i usually prick my holding finger when i punch. This suck as it kind of hurts so i am wondering if there is a thimble or some other tool i am forgetting to use to clear up this pain. However coming across your video definitely clears up having stitches hold now. Maybe you only focus on larger yarn based needle point and dont have this issue but if you try it on small mesh things with tiny thread/embroidery floss you can poke yourself alot on that sharp needle point end of the punch tool. Anyway great tips

I want more videos from you... you explain so well. Do you have others on here now? So excited. I’m a seamstress I just thought this was new and brilliant. I LOVE the way you stress your starting on your first piece, a bit at a time. Now if I could find my hoops lol. Thank you so much. Definitely want more videos!!!

Thank you so much! It was so easy to follow!

This is the first punch needle embroidery tutorial that really helps me!! Thanks. Other people just punch in and don’t show you how to hold the thread from Behind, duh! 🙄 how r we supposed to know?

finally i know how to do it :)

Thanks for a great video and help with how this magic works :) supplies soon.

Great to see needlepunch. I have found that the RICO punch needles are much easier than the one you demo Then I progressed to the Oxford 10 for Aran wt and have sent for 14 for finer yarn . In U.K. Supplier I use are The Modern Maker. Trying out their recommended linen next Thanks x

Thank you for your video! Your explanations were very thorough!

THIS IS SO FUN. CAN'T WAIT TO TRY. THANK YOU :-D

Great stuff, nice to have a get to the point tutorial.. good tips too

Thank you Joanna, I bought today a punch pen, you explained very well how to use it :) !

Really great tutorial. Thanks x

Smashing instructional video thanks 👍🤓👍

Thank you for the video as well! One of the best I’ve seen!! I’m subscribed!! 😃

SO HAPPY TO FIND YOU. I have worried about the promoted 'monks cloth' since A) I'm a beginner and don't want to waste a lot of money if I don't enjoy the craft B) regardless of skill, it is soooo expensive to buy online now as you must buy at least 2 yards per purchase. I didn't know the difference between m.cloth and linen or if mc is the only thing to use. You give me hope!

Very cute thank you for sharing.

I’m a brand new newbie! Even your tool is much more intricate! My tool has no gauge , just a hole! And no wool here, using DMC thread 🧵! 😂😂😂. You’re advanced in my case!

you explain how to do it very well thankyou

This is soooo helpful, thank you!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I will be doing some projects like this with my 8-year old daughter and I need to learn this fast before I teach her lol.. I just really want to teach her something that can also improve her focus and patience. She's really excited about it as much as I am. So, again thank you.

Paige, your video is wonderful. I tried needle punch years ago but I became frustrated by not having a great tutorial “how to” video available. Your calm voice and detailed instructions are very good. Thank you and I will give it another go.

Lovely video very informative! Beautiful colours and textures. Thanks

So happy to find this video!!! :D

Hi! My daughter and I love this thank you! Curious about the needle size used for the specific fabric you've posted. We have a kit that doesn't include the needle but we used the needle from another kit and since the fabrics are different it just ruined the fabric because it was the wrong size needle. Can you please share more specifics on the needle you use with the fabric you listed that is sold on Amazon? Thank you!

Thank you for this tip! I've been trying to find advice on how to keep the loops to stay in the fabric, I'm a beginner, thought my needle was too big for the cloth even tho it's a thinner needle.

Thank you. Think I nee to practice practice practice. Xxxx yours is beautiful
