Yarn Punching - Janome FM 725 Instruction Book

Yarn Punching

1 Draw a design pattern with tailor's chalk on the
right side of the base fabric.
NOTES:
Felt or firm woven fabrics such as denim and tweed are
recommended for the base fabrics.
Avoid using soft, fine fabrics as they tend to be
punched into a hole.
2 Place wool yarn or a soft decorative braid on the
design.
3 Lower the presser foot and close the finger/eye
guard. Punch a few spots on the yarn a few times
to attach it to the base fabric. Punch the yarn evenly
by moving the fabric slowly until the entire yarn has
been fastened.
WARNING–
Be sure to close the finger/eye guard before you start
punching.
Do not open the finger/eye guard while punching.
TIPS:
Start punching from the bottom of the design.
The single needle is recommended for fine yarns.
NOTE:
Do not over-punch the same place, it may result in
damage to the fabric.
Always raise the needle unit when changing the
direction of the fabric.
4 Repeat the above steps to punch the remainder of
the design.
5 After punching is finished, raise the needle unit and
presser foot then remove the fabric.
