i too did 'pretty punch' 20+ years ago....and we used a yarn...the needles have changed a bit since then- and now people are using embroidery floss instead of yarn- making some really (detailed) pictures. I purchased a set of (new) needles a couple years ago but have not done anything with them- now that i've found Missie's site I may just have to *jump in * make something new!

Just last week I bought a punchneedle. I am not sure I want to make a whole punchneedle project, but I do want to learn how to make flowers to incorporate into my applique quilts for texture. I have used several different methods and want to make a wallhanging using different techniques in each block. If you have any suggestions or hints for me, I will be watching this thread. One question I have is: do I have to use weavers cloth or can I use regular quilting cotton?
