- I enjoy doing punch embroidery. If you are a beginner, you might like the
- "View and Do" Videos. They are made by Plaid Enterprises in Norcross, GA --
- sorry I don't have a full address or phone number. (I rented them from my
- local crafts store).

- From my personal experience, the thing that helped me the most was when I
- finally learned toput my fabric into the hoop -backwards- and punched into
- fabric on the inside of the hoop (instead of punching the fabric from the
- outside or top like you do with regular embroidery). This makes it so much
- easier to keep the fabric in the hoop when you punch - and the "right side"
- of the finished product is on the out side of the hoop. Punch embroidery
- goes pretty fast for me and you don't have to be picky about rows or stitches-
- it is OK to punch over stitches that are already there and it still looks
- great.
