It includes info ( important) on choosing cloth, yarns, punch needles. It goes further by illustrating how to finish your project, so it looks well done. There is much light- hearted, but seriouscaveats about things which should be avoided to avoid unnecessary pain & difficulty. A COMPLETE guide to this craft.!

I enjoyed both the how-to (clearly described via words and images), the history of punch needle rugs, and the encouragement! Amy Oxford’s informal writing/teaching style makes it feel like she is in your den alongside you with a cup of coffee (well, tea...you will learn she isn’t a coffee drinker)!I was at first disappointed that there was no kindle version. Then, I started working remotely. Can’t tell you how nice it is to hold a hard copy of a great book! No excuse to check the computer/ipad/kindle. Just get the book, your punch needle and supplies. Invite Amy in and enjoy the creation!(My first experience with punch needle rug making was via Amy’s pear kit (amyoxford.com), and I watched her videos taking you though, step by step, the pear project before purchasing this book. I knew there would be more to learn and tips/galore that I could use. Worth the purchase and the time.)

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you’ll need

M.N. · May 29, 2023

This book covers everything, and I mean everything. How to punch, yarns, backing, building your own frames, transferring patterns, designing, hemming, troubleshooting, several practice projects, and some history. Very easy to follow. You may find yourself reading it from cover to cover like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book launched my hobby of rug hooking!

C.H. · January 30, 2023

I got this book and my rug hooking hobby took off!

4.0 out of 5 stars The standard work

A. · January 31, 2023

I have found this book helpful and was pleased to see the author’s work plus the other artwork by different fiber artists. The beginner projects are appropriate and the instructions are good (although I really needed to supplement them with the authors uTube videos). My one quibble is that the sequence of chapters isn’t particularly intuitive (at least not to me) and I found myself skipping around to find what I wanted to know. For example, if one is thinking of buying one of the author’s punch needles, one has to leap into the middle to find a discussion of the sizes and uses. Thank goodness there is an index but it isn’t comprehensive
