PUNCH NEEDLE EMBROIDERY
Enjoy this hands-on workshop exploring the beautiful art of punch needle embroidery. In this engaging session, Sallie Dale will walk you through the intricacies of creating stunning, textured patches using the punch needle technique. To start, you’ll learn to trace the punch needle pattern onto a linen square before stretching the fabric over the embroidery hoop. Then, the fun part begins as you punch each section with various hues of cotton embroidery floss to bring your pattern to life.
This workshop is tailored for beginners and seasoned crafters looking to explore a new avenue of creativity. Throughout the session, you'll discover the fundamentals of punch needle embroidery, from understanding how to use a punch needle and troubleshooting any issues to adhering your custom patch to a backpack, t-shirt, clutch, and more. Unleash your creativity, learn new skills, and experience the joy of crafting something unique with your own hands.

About the Artist: Sallie Dale
Sallie Dale started her business, The Urban Acres, in 2019 to bring in extra income so she could stay home with her daughter while pursuing creativity and teaching others to do the same. As a busy mom, Sallie knows how important it is to have a hobby that brings some peace in stressful moments, which is why she especially loves creating beautiful, easy-to-follow punch needle tutorials for makers like herself.
Sallie’s beginner needle punch kits are sold in over 100 stores nationwide and have been featured on Hallmark.com, Better Homes & Gardens, and Good Morning America. “Something I never would have dreamed of when I first started,” says Sallie. This year also marks the first year of her Punch Rug Club, which offers participants a chance to make their own punch needle rug.
Sallie Dale is a wife, mother, and punch needle artist in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When she’s not chasing two busy toddlers around, you can find her playing with punch needles to create full-size rugs, slippers, home decor, and more. Punch needle has been a fantastic hobby for her as a mother because she can mostly do it one-handed!
