How To Thread A Needle
Insert the threader into the punch needle from the needie point and completely through the barrel until it comes out the opposite end of the tool. Insert the yarn through the threader loop at the top of the tool, then pull the threoder back out of tool through the needle point. Pull the yarn out of the threader, leaving the yarn hanging out of the needle point. Take the loose yarn and thread it through the eye of the needle using the threader tool as shown, or by hand.
Loop Stitches
Pull.a 2 inch tail of yarn through the eye of the needle and punch the needle completely through the fabric, leaving the yarn tail on your working side. Lift the needle out of the fabric just enough to move to the next stitch. Keep the needle as close to the fabric as possible. The flat stitches will create loops on the back side of your fabric. Continue punching flat stitches in the direction that the design requires. To change colour or to complete the stitches, gently pull the needle out and cut the yarn. Once complete, flip the fobric over to reveal the loop stitches.

cutting lines. Make small cuts in all four inner corners, shown in blue. On
the back side. fold the excess fabric as shown.

bock over to the front side. Press the taped side down onto the wooden photo
frame to attach the fabric.
