Patterns, kits and supplies for punch needle, rug punch hooking and mini rug punch.
How to punch: Hold the handle of the needle like a pencil with the needle perpendicular to the fabric. Place the needle tip just barely inside the pattern line, with the bevel side of the needle in the direction you are moving the needle, I like to go side to side, then punch straight down through the fabric until the depth gauge hits the fabric, you will hear a “pop” sound when you punch down correctly. Slowly retract the needle straight back up and out of the fabric, but do not lift the tip of the needle off the face of the fabric. Lifting the needle will pull the loops on the front shorter and create loops on the back, or it could pull out the loops from the front altogether. Slide the needle over a couple of threads in the fabric and then punch the next loop. Keep the stitches close together as you punch each row. When you get to the end of row you can turn you hoop with the needle down, always watch the bevel side, making sure you are stitching in that direction. Stitch each row a little less than a needle’s width away from the last one.
