This is the Second in a Series of Machine Embroidery Designs + Punch Needle Embroidery

Silk Ribbon Impressions - Primrose Pokers and Torch Lillies are a combination of Machine Embroidery and Punch Needle Embroidery. The top of the poker is created using a special adjustable punch needle with 6 strand embroidery floss. The bottom of the poker head is created with the same punch needle and silk ribbon.

Punch embroidery is amazingly fast and easy to do. Most of the punch embroidery done to date involves punching a design including the background. Totally punching a project like this creates a nice dense rug like project.

Recent changes in punch needles allows for easy contouring of designs. This allows for just portions of the designs to be punched so they blend with the background fabric. This freedom shows off the texture and sculpture of the punched areas.

A wide variety of floss, ribbons, and specialty threads can be used for punch embroidery that cannot be used in the needle for machine embroidery. Combining the two techniques greatly enhances the design beyond what each technique is capable of doing on its own.

Use up your scraps of embroidery floss, ribbons, and specialty threads punching the poker heads of these flowers.

Yollande Nepssy’s Quilt

Yollande presented her quilt to her quilting guild and won 2nd Place (viewers choice) in a public showing.

She writes that the border is Kinky Fringe made with Marathon rayon thread #1172.

For the Punch Embroidery she used embroidery floss from Coats color #3080 (burgandy/rose) and variegated hand died silk ribbon #SR4-004 from the Thread Gatherer.

Around the star she used 1/2” green polyester ribbon, and glass beads to embellish the star outline. She used Moire’ material for the star and 100% cotton for the rest.

This is the back of her quilt. It says, “My garden is one of my greatest joys.”

Simply lovely. Thank you Yollande for sharing your project with us.
