Welcome to the fascinating world of miniature punchneedle embroidery.  This unique form of needlework uses a special needle and only one stitch to create lush, richly textured pieces that look like tiny hooked rugs.  Miniature punchneedle is not only easy to learn, but also portable (just grab and go!), and best of all, it's instant gratification — you can finish a piece in only an evening or two.

And what can you do with miniature punchneedle pieces?  You can, of course, frame them for all to admire.  But you can do so much more — applique them onto clothing, wear them as jewelry (pins or pendants), embellish the fronts of photo albums and journals, display them on baskets and boxes, create tiny rugs for dollhouse, highlight your crazy quilts, and the list goes on and on.

No matter what your style, whether contemporary or primitive, you can create gorgeous pieces that look great and are yummy to touch, too.  Enjoy exploring the following pages to learn more about miniature punchneedle embroidery.
