Color with Threads Using Punch Needle EmbroideryWouldn't it be nice if stitching embroidery were as easy as coloring? With punch needle patterns, it is! That's why some people call this method thread painting.
Here's a buffalo I made as my first project. See how I experimented with different sititches in the flowers? You use a special tool to pierce the fabric. Each stitch creates loops on the opposite side from where you are working. Russian punch embroidery considers that opposite side with the loops to be the right side of the finished piece. Japanese Bunka Shishu is a Japanese style that considers the side with the flat stitches to be the right side. Both methods are quite beautiful and have a lot in common.
