Fabric and trims that can be used

Just about any fabric can be felted with the needle felting machine, however, some fabrics tend to have more favorable results when embellishing or laundering afterward.

The recommended fabrics and trims are those made from natural fibers, such as linen, wool, wool roving, and wool, silk or cotton yarns. The best characteristic for fabrics is a napped or textured surface.

A napped surface will adhere to a natural fiber/napped surface/or mixed fiber base.

Avoid synthetics with “wash and wear” type of weaves and finishes that have a smooth surface.

Laundering embellished projects

To determine if your embellished project is washable, it is recommended that you do a test sample first from the fabrics you intend to use. Wash the finished sample the same way you will wash it after the project is completed.

For example, if you plan on washing the completed project with a load of jeans and then put it into the dryer, then do so with the sample. Do not “pamper” unless you plan on pampering the finished project.

NOTE: Laundering rules of “pre-washing”:

Pre-washing all fabrics before sewing does not apply. With the needle felting machine, you want thefinished project to “shrink” so the felted fibers will stay meshed. With this in mind, be sure to make the project a little large, since the main fabric is a natural fiber, to allow for shrinkage.

Because of not pre-washing fibers before embellishing, color fading can occur when working with bright and contrasting colors. Be sure to make a test sample and wash it for best results.
