Hi,

My name is Denise, and I am a punchaholic. Let me tell you how it all began.......

It all started just a few months ago after I went to a "sewing tea party" to see all the newest sewing equipment on the market. One of the items was a felting machine which I have since learned to refer to as my punching machine. What's the difference between a felting machine and a punching machine? Drop me a line if you want to know.

The punching machine was not even considered for my wish list because I was 100% sure I didn't need, want, or desire it. A few weeks later I was back in the store and one of the ladies that worked there was all excited and couldn't wait for her machine to arrive. I asked her what on earth she wanted a punching machine for? That is the moment that my life changed forever.

The lady showed me pictures of pillows that were made with a punching machine. From the moment I opened that book and saw the beautiful pillows it was all over for me or should I say the start of something great and very gratifying. I couldn't wait to get my own punching machine.

As you can see I got my machine and, here are some of the results.

Remember you can't punch just one.
