I was under the impression that there are 2 kinds of Weaver's cloth. One is for clothing which is a firmer weight for things like slacks and jackets.

Then there is another kind, designed to be used for crafts, such as the needle punch. If you are making a pillow, it would be a firm background for the yarn that is used. There is some even firmer that will allow you to make a "throw" for your chair or sofa. Then an even heavier that can be used for throw rugs.

Ask at your fabric store about the different weights and what would best suit the project you might plan to make. There are kits availble which you might check into just to get more idea about this craft.

It's a tightly woven fabric that helps to keep the punches from pulling out. I have a book called "punch needle on a grand scale". it teaches you how to make a fabric sandwich using weavers cloth and many other fabrics by sandwishing weaver cloth, your main fabric and fusible web. this opens up a world of different looks (you can even use hand dyed wools). this book also has many nice patterns. hope I helped

I think weavers cloth comes in different weight and weave depending on company, I bought some once and made bunny rabbits from it.. I enjoyed working with it.

We did needle punch 35 years ago - it was called Russian Punch then and wasn't nearly as expensive as it is now.

I recovered the pads on a rocking chair in a heavy cotton that had a
panda bear design (for a nursery) and I needle punched the center bear.
It came out great. My point is that you can needle punch on other fabrics
as well as those suggested. Give it a try.
