Punchneedle Embroidery

Punchneedle embroidery is an old needle art that is worked through a fabric pattern stretched in an embroidery hoop, forming loops of threads on the side opposite the working surface to create a design. This book shows that punchneedle embroidery is back - and credit for its modern revival must go to today's appealing designs, which result in charming miniature art. Even beginners will soon be able to create these exquisite projects, which showcase timeless motifs; from flowers to primitive stars. In addition to frameable punchneedle pieces, there are wearable accents and a gallery of the authors' works.
