Preboun 8 Pcs Fruit Punch Needle Coaster Kit, Punch Needle Embroidery Kit for Adults Beginners,DIY Craft Supplies Tufted Coasters Including Yarns Hoop Tools

Bought this kit for my teen daughter who was looking for a new hobby. Initially she wanted to learn to crochet, but that was too hard for her. This punch needle kit was very easy to for her to use, instructions were easy to follow, and she made all these coasters in 2 days!

The media could not be loaded. At first I was going to knock this down a star or two because it is not at the “fine crafts” level; but after starting one of the coasters (the watermelon), I decided that this kit is a good value and easy to use. Plus I think the designs printed on the fabric are nice. They are simple but striking.I have done punch-needle embroidery before using smaller needles, cotton embroidery floss, and fabric with a finer weave. Personally, that is my preferred approach to this craft—but I don’t want to be too snobby about this. The seller put together a complete package for you or a child (older child or young teen—there is a sharp poking tool) to get started on this craft. The punch needle tool they provide works well. Be sure to use the thin wire threader wrapped with the punch tool to feed the yarn into the punch.I just started punching away, not too worried about my method or results. It is turning out pretty cute, and the loops are staying secure on the back, which will become the front of the piece.You have to be sure that the yarn is able to flow freely into the pen stem. Don’t press on the yarn as I found myself doing. Seller says to start on small areas first, so I punched the black seeds and green rind. I may finish with a pink middle because there is some pink yarn in the kit. The yarn seems to be generic acrylic, so if you run out before you finish all eight of these, you can find more if you need it.The kit even includes thread and a small needle (and a threader for it too) so you can tack down the woven fabric into a circle before you stick the backing felt on it. I have not gotten that far on this project yet. If I run into major issues I will update this review. There are yarn/thread clippers included. I expected them to “sorta” work but they work great! Nice and sharp. You need them so you can trim your yarn ends as you go. And did I mention that when you make a boo-boo, it is simple to rip out your yarn and start again? You will have to push the threads of the backing fabric into place if you rip out though because the threads are what hold the yarn when you pull the needle back to the surface.I think you will enjoy this kit. If you don’t pass it along to a kid who will! Hobbies make you HAPPY!

The yarn and templates are awesome, but as a first time user the punch needle does not come with the right yarn threader, and the instructions are not intuitive, with small pictures and confusing steps. I’m pretty disappointed but I have ordered a better punch needle and have watched some YouTube tutorials that will hopefully help.

It is impossible to thread the punch needle. Luckily my friend bought a different kit that had a longer threader. This kit alone has horrendous instructions and is not easy to use. They did turn out somewhat cute but they aren’t usable as coasters due to how you put on the backing. Overall disappointing and would recommend shopping else where for a kit

This set is cute and the yarn is a nice texture but the instructions could be better. I'd suggest looking up additional instructions online.

Es barato y cumple. No estoy segura si lo hice mal, pero no creo que el estambre sea suficiente para las demás figuras. Seguramente compraré cosas de más calidad para seguir haciéndolo.
