    1.The fabric should be at least 8-10 cm larger than your work so you can frame it. Press the fabric. Draw your pattern using a water-soluble marker pen. The lines dissolve in water. You can make a wall hanging of any size you wish. If you wish to make your wall hanging larger than the multi frame, simply move the frame as you work.

    2.Assemble the multi frame. Follow the instructions on the package. Tighten the fabric in the multi frame. For the best results, the fabric should be secured tightly inside the frame. If the fabric becomes loose as you work, turn the frame edges to tighten it.

    3.Thread the needle according to the instructions on the package. On the wall hanging shown, the needle is set at a different length for each colour. Flip the needle forward with the hole facing in the direction, you intend to work. Hold the needle to a right angle to the fabric and make sure that you push it right to the bottom, before pulling it gently up again.

    4.Tip: Lean your multi frame against a table edge or lay it on top of a stack of books or similar. This creates a space between the frame and the table below and ensures, the needle does not scratch the tabletop.

    7.Cut a piece of non-slip underlay to measuring the same size as your punch needle work. The non-slip underlay makes the wall hanging stiffer and prevents curling. It also gives you the chance to add decorative fringings to the bottom edge. For adding fringings, cut sime yarn into lengths of about 40 cm. Knot them around the lattice as shown. Trim the fringings.
