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
I ordered the fabric you linked to and tried to use it but the weave is way too tight to get a needle through and just tears it. It comes up on Amazon as linen, is the correct? Thanks
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
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
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 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 😁👍
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 💐🥰💐🥰💐😘
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!
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 ❤
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.
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! 😊
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.
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!
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 😂
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.
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.
Hello! I definitely want more videos from you! Your voice is so easy follow. Your instructions are great! Thank you. Hope you have a more advanced tutorial soon.
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!!!
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
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.
Hello! I'm new to your channel and to needle punch embroidery!! I just received my kit today and this is the first Tutorial I came across that I liked!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!! 🥰🌈🦋
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
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?
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!
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.
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 this video - super informative and appreciate the level of detail you've gone into. Got my kit today so will definitely be referring back to this!
@@paigejoannaa I just mean you should be getting more as your content is great. I realised when I re-read it that it didnt make sense and sounded rude (on a 2hr young video!). Not trolling so quickly edited when looked. Keep up the hard work, new sub!
@@Emma_Galbraith Hehe okay I understand now! Yeah the video only went up a few hours ago and crafts are quite niche so they either pick up and do really well or they get on average 200-2,000 views :) Hope that helps! Thank you for checking it out and my channel. xx
@@paigejoannaa Well I'm a fan of that niche! Thanks so much for replying :) it's a lot of work putting together these tutorials! I cant wait for some more Cricut vids too! X
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
Thank you for this video, it is very informative, very easy to follow, clear instructions without any padding out. It was a pleasure to watch and I learnt a lot from it. Excellent presentation, I will look forward to future videos. Many thanks Rosemary x
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!
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!
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.

I hope that helps! :) xxx
P.s I’m going to film an updated video soon with more tools, frames & fabrics :) as well as an ebook I will be launching with template designs. Xx
@@paigejoannaa can you use aida instead of this fabric?
I ordered the fabric you linked to and tried to use it but the weave is way too tight to get a needle through and just tears it. It comes up on Amazon as linen, is the correct? Thanks
@@ChloeLouiseAmber if you search monks cloth on Amazon this comes up x
Panama fabric is good to use for Punch embroidery
The little tip about holding first thread before getting started has really helped and I’m no longer really frustrated with it all! Thanks
Completely new. Watching this video instead of reading the instructions because I am a visual learner and autistic so videos work best for me
finaly a video that show the back how it looks thnx
Finally a video that shows what fabric to use and suggestions on yarn!
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
I bought one from target and the instructions were wrong and tool didn't work!
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
So glad you found it useful thank you for commenting xx
My loop come out when I insert the needle
Brillant very easy to follow can't wait to try thanks and God bless you. .
Thank you, so much easier to understand than most of the other tutorials on TH-cam
Thank you x
Agree also I understand now than read stupid instructions on paper which not explain enough
Of all the videos I've seen this is the best and easiest to learn thank you
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.
I agree with you on that! It would drive me nuts to hold the hoop 'upsidedown'.
Thank you so much for going so slow. I’m doing my first punch needle . You have helped me a lot
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 😁👍
