Bernadine’s punchneedles are handcrafted locally, made of quality stainless steel and brass with unique hexagonal handles. This shape provides a better grip and will not roll off the table, which could damage the point. Other features include the following:
- The small size creates a balanced needle which is important for better control, precision and speed. (If a longer handle is preferred, we’ve made handle grip/extenders).
- Every punchneedle is stamped with a “B” on the brass handle. This indicates which side is the front of the needle, hence, the direction to stitch.
- Every punchneedle has a pre-cut, specific color coded gauge which can be removed or added, as needed, for a full range of loop settings.
- Convenient and portable……should last a lifetime!
