✨ Punch Needle Basics: A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Stress-Free Punch Needle

You’ve seen all the gorgeous punch needle projects on Pinterest and Instagram and thought, “I can totally make that!”

So you order a punch needle, grab some yarn, stretch fabric in a hoop…
and instead of perfect loops, you get:

• holes in the fabric
• loops falling out
• embroidery hoops popping open
• and a whole lot of “wait… isn’t this supposed to be easy??”

Yep. Same here.
That’s exactly how I started — confused, frustrated, and convinced I was doing everything wrong.

👉 Punch needle IS easy… once you know the basics.
