74 74  On point New needlecraft designs on the marke ZWEIGART If punch needle with wool yarn is too coarse and you’d rather punch small playful details, then the premier class of punch needle with fine embroidery threads could work for you. The booklet contains beautiful designs with detailed instructions on technology. The fine punch needle with embroidery threads makes an impression on the flat side much like that of classic embroidery with back, stem and statin stitch. The fabric is often desired to remain visible as a background. A special advantage of the fine punch needle is the enormous selection of colours Zweigart’s fabrics offer. For instance, if the background of the punched motif is to remain free, the articles 3609 Belfast, 3984 Murano and 3538 Lugana offer an extremely large selection of colours. Special background effects can be created with Zweigart’s printed fabrics, such as Petit Point, Sparkle, Vintage and Splash, or metallic threads, such as Irisé, gold or silver. +49 (0)7031 795 5 zweigart.com
