1. Stretch the monks cloth all the way and make sure the hoop is tight
2. Slack in the yarn or you will pull out stitches or miss knots
3. Don't pull off the needle too far, the needle should graze the fabric
4. Push the needle in all the way
5. Punch in the right direction, turn the needle to the direction you are punching
6. Use the correct fabric, you have to use fabric with a big enough weave where the needle will fit. Monks cloth or Panama cotton to start. Also the right count of thread for the thickness of yarn.
7. Right yarn weight for the needle itself. Yarn should slide through the tool, it won't if it's too thick. Yarn that's too thin will fall out easily.

I thought I was completely useless at this needle punching. I'm actually a very skilled sewer, knitter and crochetter, but this has given me endless headaches. Now I finally know what I've been doing wrong. Can't wait to give it another try 👍👏

Thank you! I felt useless not being able to help my daughter to use a kit she received for her birthday!! This really helped!!

Really pleased I found this channel. I am a complete beginner and was struggling to make the correct loops. Following your instructions has made my life so much better, not least my stitching. Thank you so much x

My son wants to start punch needling and this was the perfect introductory for us to watch so he feels comfortable starting. Thank you!😊

I bought a starter kit today and thought I would watch some people on youtube to get more of an idea on how to do it. This has been a really helpful video, thank you so much....just waiting for my children to go to bed so I can have a go :)

This whole time I’ve been using a small needle with thick yarn not knowing why it wasn’t working for me and I gave up. I can now finally punch needle after watching video. Thank you! 💕😃

[redsilverblue]

Very helpful, thank you!💜 I‘ve already made a bunch of these mistakes.😂 Came to the right place.

Thankyou for helping punch needle beginners

[shelbyworks]

This was so helpful! I tried punch needling on my own without watching any tutorials thinking it was easy enough and very quickly found myself very frustrated. Such simple tips but so helpful thank you!

[nosleeptonight]

Exactly what I needed! Bought all the supplies and was so excited to start punch needle but every time I tried it didnt work. Tried different fabrics, different yarns, even different needles and it always seemed to get messed up. Was honestly about to give up and say maybe its just not for me. Watched this video and it turns out I had my fabric too loose this whole time! Fixed it up and gave it another try and its working great! I'm finally on my way to my first finished piece of punch needle! Thanks so much for your help!

[sarahkaddoura]

Great explanation, because it wasn’t working with me at all . 😅 now I got it.

[pvkroberts]

Thank you mam and may God bless your talent. Very well explained. I'm from Sri Lanka and don't know whether the the proper cloth is available here. Is there a way that I could order online. Please let me know. Thank you.

I just bought a kit to try out punch needle and I was so frustrated I couldn’t make it work. I also feel I need a better needle than the one I bought. Anyway, thanks for this video and happy new year.
