So happy that you like this idea and ho...Hi Kelli,<br /><br />So happy that you like this idea and how great that you already have the cookie cutters and the yarn, yay!!<br />I have a Cameo Ultra Needle set, which comes with three size needle, small, medium and larger. For the 80/2 yarns I just use the smallest size needle. Every now and then I might hit a small slub in the yarn that doesn't go through the needle, (you will know as all of a sudden your stitches won't appear on the cloth). When that happens I just cut the yarn, and rethread, no big deal since it happens so infrequently. Let me know how it goes, and good luck!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-59932461741394237392015-08-12T16:48:26.838-04:002015-08-12T16:48:26.838-04:00Thank you so much for sharing your punch needles e...Thank you so much for sharing your punch needles embroidery pieces. I took time to look online for more information and I was wondering which needle you use? I have lots of cookie cutters and I can't wait to try this with them. I am also a weaver, so I have lots of 8/2 cotton as well! Thank you again!

We...Thanks to each of you for the lovely comments!<br /><br />Wendy, It does seem to be a challenge to find much info on this subject. I am using 80/2 cotton yarns on cones that I have from weaving supply stash. However good old DCM embroidery floss is widely used, usually 3 strands or all 6 strands. I have used 6 strands and it worked great... just make sure you have enough of each color that you need as it runs out very quickly. Vivaldi yarns are also very popular and look beautiful. Much harder to find, (I know of only one local shop that carries them, but they are available on line.) i am planing on trying those out soon.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-44783432048252170932015-06-30T11:37:15.844-04:002015-06-30T11:37:15.844-04:00These are beautiful pieces!

I had a go at it a couple of years ago, really enjoyed it and for some reason I haven't done it again... I think part of the problem is that I bought a little kit which came with the thread to use. Now I've used it up, I'm not sure what thread to use.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-32893457319684616282015-06-28T15:42:06.278-04:002015-06-28T15:42:06.278-04:00Wow!
