Step 1
First, transfer the desired pattern onto the fabric. Transfer paper, fabric cutting and template have to be placed on top of each other as follows: · place 1 sheet of transfer paper textile with the red coated side facing upwards, · lay the fabric cutting on top of it, · 1 sheet of transfer paper textile (the red coated side facing downwards), · superimpose the template with the pattern.2 ![]()
Step 2
Trace the pattern with a pencil by firm pressure. Make sure that nothing slips down. The pattern is now drawn on both sides of the fabric cutting. This is necessary because the motif has to be punched from both sides. Now stretch the fabric cutting in the middle of the embroidery hoop.3 ![]()
Step 3
First, set the needle length at the punch needle on the scale of 1 to 5 (metallic fastener). Pull the black cotton yarn all the way through the Punch Needle according to the instructions.4 ![]()
Step 4
Start with the name first. Hold the needle like a pencil, with the bevelled side of the needle always pointing upwards and the tip of the needle pointing in the working direction. Start with the beginning of the name. Push the punch needle straight down into the fabric until the needle is fully inserted, as far as it will go. Bring the needle back up slowly so that it slides close to the fabric. This creates a loop at the bottom. Move the needle tip very close to the loopy side of the fabric and continue punching as described above. Repeat this punching step until the name is complete. If you want to thicken a letter, punch a double row. Use a blunt embroidery needle to pull down the starting and the end thread to the backside and cut them off at the height of your loops.5 ![]()

Do not use too much textile glue, otherwise the glue will soak through.13 ![]()
