When I first saw the pictures I thought that the final product was much bigger and I thought it was made with yarn. I do like the mini size but I was wondering: How could you make it bigger?? I really do like the designs!! :) I think that the punchneedle designs are GREAT and im definately willing to try it out!!

Then again I have one, so I'm biased, mwahaha. Your work is wonderful, you're very talented! In that case, a wheaten terrier would look wonderful. Then again I have one, so I’m biased, mwahaha.

I keep commenting on this because I love it. I love the pug and the corgi. Did you just draw them on the fabric or what? Sorry June! I keep commenting on this because I love it.

It would take an awfully long time to make enough loops to cover a bath towel. 2. The loops that are formed by punching can be easily pulled out from the wrong side of the fabric, so you would have to create 2 separate sides, and quilt them together so that the insides are protected and you would have loops on both sides. 3. Wear issues - I am not sure how well it would last with being handled as roughly as a bathtowel! My suggestion would be to create a small applique with punchneedle and attach this to the end of a bought bathtowel, to add some interest and decoration to a regular towel with a similar loopy texture. You can find instructions for making appliques in my eBook :) And to everyone who has left a comment: THANK YOU! So happy you like my new project! Loora, I am not at all sure about this!

I'm wondering: isn't the same stitch used to create bathtowels ? Except that bathtowels have "loops" on both side. But I'm still wondering if one could not take this technique and craft highly colorful bathtowels ? I may sound weird, but I'm not learning another craft that will end up getting framed. Walls are full, and so are shelves. I thought it would be fun to replace my 10-years-old bathtowels. I love it too !

It looks like your ebook is very thorough and I love that you have a trouble-shooting section. I'll be saving up my money so I can try this out. :) These are great designs!
