Miniature punchneedles, made of quality stainless steel and
brass with unique hexagonal brass handles. The advantage is
that they will not roll off a table or other surface which
can prevent damage to the point of the needle. The needles
come with color-coded, pre-cut gauges and threaders and an
extra gauge for adjusting to any size loop. Also includes
instruction for threading and stitching. With these precision
tools, there is a fine distinction between each size - providing
you with excellent stitching results.
NEW LOOK for Punchneedles
 A few months ago, we began making the punchneedles with a NEW LOOK. We are making them with a slanted cut on one side and then stamp it with a “B” (similar to a branding iron).Then the needle is inserted so that the front, beveled side, is lined up with the B. Now there is a natural “mark” on the needle to indicate the front – and you don’t need to mark it with finger nail polish anymore. The #1, #2, #3 and #6 are in production already.
The direction you stitch with the punchneedle is a matter of choice – some like to stitch away - some prefer to stitch toward themselves - I prefer to stitch from left to right, away from me, and then I turn the hoop so I can maintain that position. The point is that the beveled edge (or the “B” on my needles) must always be the leading direction of the needle.
