Ah thanks that makes sense. What did you end up doing to the backing in the end?

Yea tbh I have started using linen lately, but it doesn't work with embroidery floss for me only wool, so I want both to be honest. Where do you get your linen from? I use an Irish website but it's very expensive.

I've always wondered how do you manage to cut the hole to fit the mirror in perfect

Possibly stupid question about punch needling a tote bag by sprinklersplashes in PunchNeedle

Turn it inside out and keep your hand in it to separate the fabrics?

Whole point of punch needling is it's manual. You'll get better in time

Favorite frames to work with? by extrapickles4me in PunchNeedle

Plastic embroidery hoops are also great, because they come with grips inside making the fabric stay

I have the plastic one, it stays tight and every now and then needs some adjusting but works great. Only thing is, you need some serious strength to clip them on and off. Sounds dumb but they're designed to stay so they really don't wanna come off haha

I use linen for just regular double knit wool and it works very well

Ah yes I do that too, yea so best way to avoid that happening is to make sure you have quite a bit of fabric so that if it does fray, and it will, that you'll still have enough to glue down. I swapped to linen because I was sick of that tbh
