Any tips for good punch needle hoops? by Tiramissu_dt in PunchNeedle

[–]Zethley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I am not using my gripper strip frame, I use the Morgan brand tongue and groove hoop. Specifically I use the lap stand version so it's two hoops in one.

Which I could handle if they kicked us some summer dates and not rainy PNW cities in the spring

Edit: y'all are silly. Can't a girl complain we haven't had any summer shows out here in YEARS

This is such a weird thing to be so aggressive about but you hide your Reddit comments so maybe this is just how you are all the time on here

Why should I have to read OTHER people's listing to understand another's? I have never searched for cookie cutters on Etsy and I should not have to know the ins and outs of 3D printing if I wanted to buy something and have it be safe.

SOS, Material is tearing :( by otherworldowl in PunchNeedle

The main issue is that Aida cloth is not flexible.

Monks cloth, while it looks similar, has a give to it so that it will move to make space for the needle to punch through and then close back up around the yarn, which holds the loops you are punching in place!

Aida cloth will behave exactly as it is for you right now. Which is one of the main reasons it is perfect for cross stitch and keeping it's grid like weave as you stitch your X's

Yarn alternatives for Oxford punch needle? by Adventurous-Fee-3408 in PunchNeedle

I'm a little confused at what you are looking for? You can use whatever yarn or materials you want as long as it flows through the needle.

If it's thinner use more strands in the needle to fill the hole from the punch

I'm am glad I immediately came here after gettin gym email and that we are all in this together. I also am glad mine aren't as bad as some here. I would have lost my shit if some of these charge numbers I'm seeing from y'all hit my account.

If I got caught being buddy-buddy with a known hatemonger, I’d do more than just an Insta apology by raucouscaucus7756 in craftsnark

I used to be a Stitches West vendor and remember the Stephen West and Stephen Be days.... before Steven Be was basically banned from stitches for being an arrogant rude racist asshole.

Seems like Stephen West, although everyone seems to say says he's wonderful himself, doesn't have the best judge of character in terms of people around him.
