5.0 out of 5 stars A most beautiful book!

B.H. · February 28, 2024

Wow! What a work of art the book itself is! It is filled with a multitude of beautiful pictures, easy to understand instructions, and so many new ideas! I am a rug hooker and have done punch hooking before but this book has expanded my creativity and has shown me that I can take my art to a new level. The best “instruction” book ever, and I have a lot of them!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on lunch needle!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for background information

K. · July 19, 2024

This book is full of historical information and pictures of past work. If you are looking for a useful instruction book with helpful diagrams and projects this probably not the book that you are looking for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more to learn

M.o.S. · July 9, 2024

The first book was an excellent introduction with some great starter projects. The second book takes you even further and there’s so much more to learn. Making a punch is really easy, if you just do a little practice, you’ll become an expert in no time. These books really help with technique and improving upon your skills.I made my first punch when I was in high school. I remember how excited it was to see the design taking shape and being completed. Of course my design back then was a typical teenagers picture, but now I’m working on some really great patterns that I bought from the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book
