Finishing your punch needle project with your sewing machine

By Amy

Finishing punch needle projects with a sewing machine

If you want to make your punch needle project into a small pillow, bowl filler, or shelf sitter,

sewing it up with a sewing machine is a fast and easy way to finish it.

After pressing and dyeing (if desired) the finished project,

trim the edges of the weavers cloth so you have about 1 inch

all the way around the punched edge.

Cut a piece of backing fabric the same size.

I am using brown wool for the back of this pillow.

Layer the punched piece and the backing fabric, right sides together.

Right sides together

Pin it together, if you wish.

Have the punched piece on top so you can see its outline.

Pin Together

Using a zipper foot, stitch all the way around the punched piece

as close to the edge of the punch needle stitching as possible.

Sew

Trim the edges 1/4″ from the seam and clip the corners.Pink the edges

Carefully, cut a hole in the middle of the wool on the back,

being careful not to cut through the front needle punch layer.

This is for turning.

Stuff with your desired stuffing material.

Stuff the PIllow

Whipstitch the opening closed using thread to match.

You can also cut a small rectangle and sew it on over the closed hole.

Our small farm is nestled amongst the Amish. We have a few cows, some sheep, a labradoodle, one calico cat, and lots of wide open spaces for our children to roam. I enjoy making primitive needle punch, wool creations, and learning how to spin the wool from our sheep. Read more...
