You will also need:
- Scissors
- Black fine liner marker
- Tape (optional)
- Fabric glue (optional)
Directions
Transferring the pattern
Lay the fabric on top of the printed pattern and trace the entire pattern with
the marker. If you find it difficult to see the lines: place the fabric and
the pattern on a window and tape them to hold in place while tracing.
Remove the paper pattern, turn the fabric around and trace the pattern of just
the stems to this side of the fabric (stems will be in mirror image).
Stretching the hoop
Center and stretch the fabric in the hoop: the side with the stems is facing
up towards you. Stretch the fabric as tight as possible, and do NOT trim off
excess fabric yet!
Threading the needle (see diagram)
- Push the threader into the sharp needlepoint, from the top to the bottom of the needle.
- Open the wire loop and thread the yarn through, then pull the trader back up from the needle.
- Push the threader through the small hole in the needle point.
- Open the wire loop and thread the yarn through, then pull the threader back through the needle hole leaving a 10 cm/4-inch tail end.
Adjust needle
Step 1- Loosen the adjusting screw.
Step 2- Turn it a quarter turn and tighten the adjusting screw to the
desired needle length.
How to punch
Step 1 – Unwind approximately 1 meter of yarn (do not cut the yarn!) and
thread the needle.
Step 2- Push the needle from front to back through the fabric and make
sure you push the needle up to the handle. Pull the tail end to the back of
the fabric and hold the tail while you gently pull the needle back up from the
fabric.
Step 3 – Move the needle approximately 0.5 cm over and then push it into
the fabric and again gently pull the needle back up from the fabric. Repeat
step 3.
Very Important:
- The eye of the needle is always towards your previous stitches
- Graze the fabric with the tip of your needle as you go to the next stitch
- The yarn tail is always loose so the yarn can move smoothly and freely through the needle
Punching the stems with a flat stitch (finished result will have loops at
backside and flat stitches at frontside)
Set the needle to position 5. Thread green yarn and start punching all flower
stems with a basic flat stitch. The loops will be formed at the back of your
fabric.
Turn the hoop: the flower pattern is now facing up towards you and so are the loops of the punched stems.
Punching the flowers with a loop stitch (finished result will have flat
stitches at backside and loops at frontside)
Set the needle to position 5. Using the color chart as a reference, continue
to punch all the flowers one by one. There are several options to fill in each
color section: you can work in the round or work in zig zag stitches. Turn
your hoop again after filling in all color sections of the flowers.
Finishing
The finished work shows the flowers with loop stitches and the stems with flat
stitches at the frontside of the panel. Again, make sure the panel is
stretched tight before finally weaving in all tail ends and trimming off all
excess fabric. If necessary, use a dab of fabric glue to secure excess fabric
to the back of your work.
