Punch Needle is the perfect technique for creating textile artwork - whether as a mural or a stylish cushion cover. This trendy needlework technique is not only super easy to learn, but is also really fun and gives your creativity free rein.
Step 1: Transfer motif

Firstly, print out the template and place it under the fabric you want to embroider. Take a line-ex pen (also known as a sublimation pen), the lines of which disappear by themselves after a while, and carefully trace the motif. This will give you a good orientation later and ensure a clean result.

Now stretch the fabric tightly in the embroidery hoop - make sure that your motif is nicely centred. This will ensure an even structure. Roughly cut the fabric to the right size.
Important to know: With the Punch Needle technique, the side you are working on is actually the back - the loops are created on the back and form the finished image there.

Step 2: Tighten the thread

Now colour comes into play! Use the threading aid on your Punch Needle. Guide it through the eyelet from front to back, pull the thread through and bring it back to the lace. Then insert the threading aid from top to bottom through the hole in the needle tip - the thread should be pointing upwards. This ensures that the thread is optimally tensioned and you can start filling in your motif.

Step 3: Filling in the motif

Now it's time to punch! The grid marking on your Punch Needle helps you to set the loop length - it is best to start with the shortest setting, usually "D".

Insert the Punch Needle into the fabric, pull the end of the thread through and move the needle a little further without lifting it. Repeat this process until an area is completely filled.

Important: The thread should run loosely from the ball - this creates even loops.

If you make a mistake - no problem! You can simply pull the thread out and start again. Once you have finished one section, run the needle through the fabric, leave the thread a little loose, cut it and shorten the end if necessary.

Step 4: Finish the project

Cut off any excess wool ends neatly. To fix your work, you can use some textile glue - this is particularly useful for cushion covers to prevent threads from coming loose. It is optional but recommended for murals. Make sure you only use a small amount of glue so that no unsightly hardening occurs.

Once dry, you can stretch the fabric again and cut it to size. To make your artwork even more durable, glue the thread ends to the back.
You have now mastered the basics of the Punch Needle technique - perfect for realising your own ideas!
