Tips
– Prepare the fabric on the embroidery hoop by separating the 2 circles and
laying the fabric over the inner one. Place the larger circle over the top and
press down to secure the fabric. Adjust the fabric position to ensure the
design is centred. Tighten the screw and gently pull the fabric edges to
ensure ifs taut. Do not pre wash the fabric.
– Embroidery thread is made up of 6 strands of thread twisted together. We
recommend using all 6 strands of thread cut into 1 meter lengths to be more
manageable.
– Begin your punch needling by following the guide image for colour and stitch
reference.
– To complete your hoop, turn it over and trim the excess fabric from the
edges. Alternatively, trim the fabric and fold it over the inner part of the
back side of the hoop. Use hot glue to secure the fabric.
How To Thread A Needle
- Insert the threader into the punch needle from the needle point and completely through the barrel until it comes out the opposite end of the tool.
- Insert the thread through the threader loop at the top of the tool, then pull the threader back out of tool through the needle point.
- Pull the thread out of the threader, leaving the thread hanging out of the needle point.
- Take the loose thread and thread it through the eye of the needle using the threader tool as shown, or by hand.
Flat Stitches
-
Pull a 2 inch tail of thread through the eye of the needle and punch the needle completely through the fabric, pushing the thread tail through.
The needle must push all the way through the fabric with each punch. -
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.

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 thread.
