ABSTRACT:
A tool for hand embroidery work. The tool is specifically designed for loop embroidery where a pattern is constructed of loops of thread or embroidery floss formed on the opposite surface of a background fabric from the surface in which the needle is inserted. The loops may be cut or left uncut to form the finished texture and pattern. The tool includes an elongated hollow, open ended body with a hollow needle at one end thereof. The open interior of the needle openly communicates with the hollow body interior. The pointed end of the needle is similar in configuration to a hypodermic needle, having its point formed by a beveled surface. An aperture is formed through one side of the needle wall adjacent to the pointed tip thereof. A thread or floss section may extend through the overall length of the body and hollow needle, with the free end of the thread protruding through the aperture rather than through the point of the needle. The body is formed in two separable sections that facilitate storage of the punch in a compact configuration while also preventing damage to the needle.
