Thank you! And happy to help, hope you enjoy the process. My first time it took me awhile to figure out the stitch and threading the needle, hope the pictures help, in combination with the diagrams, instructions that come with the needle.

This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much! I think I may try it. I'm always excited to learn new skills!

Thanks for posting the awesome info! I’m excited to try punch needle for making rugs in true 1/12 scale. Since punch needle is worked from the back of the rug, is it best to reverse the design pattern before transferring it to the fabric? Thanks! 

[WyckedWood]

You’re welcome and no, you don’t reverse the design. Have fun

Thanks for sharing your experience and we also searching a stair tread rugs did you know about it...if you have any idea kindly suggest me Thanks.

Jenni, feel free to post an introduction in the Newcomers' Forum.  Usually the runners for stair treads are stitched like needlepoint.  I suppose one could do them in punchneedle, sort of like the shag carpet we had on the stairs in our house in Havana, FL.  Those were a bear to vacuum.

Haha, I saw one of your rugs previously and I thought you HAD done the whole thing with French knots. (And admired your patience.) This does look like fun!
