The lines dissolve in water. You can make a wall hanging of any size you wish. If you wish to make your wall hanging larger than the multi frame, simply move the frame as you work.2.Assemble the multi frame. Follow the instructions on the package. Tighten the fabric in the multi frame. For the best results, the fabric should be secured tightly inside the frame. If the fabric becomes loose as you work, turn the frame edges to tighten it.3.Thread the needle according to the instructions on the package. On the wall hanging shown, the needle is set at a different length for each colour. Flip the needle forward with the hole facing in the direction, you intend to work. Hold the needle to a right angle to the fabric and make sure that you push it right to the bottom, before pulling it gently up again.4.Tip: Lean your multi frame against a table edge or lay it on top of a stack of books or similar. This creates a space between the frame and the table below and ensures, the needle does not scratch the tabletop.5.Remove your work from the frame. Cut a 4 cm seam allowance on both sides. There is an 8 cm seam allowance at the top. Overlock all the edges.6.Weave in the ends at the back of your work. It is up to you to decide which is the right side. Tip: Apply a little textile glue to the back to prevent fraying.7.Cut a piece of non-slip underlay to measuring the same size as your punch needle work. The non-slip underlay makes the wall hanging stiffer and prevents curling. It also gives you the chance to add decorative fringings to the bottom edge. For adding fringings, cut sime yarn into lengths of about 40 cm. Knot them around the lattice as shown. Trim the fringings.8.Iron your work (protect it with a cloth). Finally, sew on the non-slip underlay. Sew by hand, preferably using herringbone stitch. Sew the bottom edge first, then the sides.9.Make a 4 cm drawstring hem at the top edge. Saw off the dowel to a length of about 50 cm. Slide it into the drawstring hem. If you wish, you can use a leather string or cord to hang.10.Back of work.
