How does this work on felt? Especially when using in an embroidery machine?

I love the 505 spray because it does not gum up the sewing machine needle. Because the felt is such a porous surface you can use it but spray both the felt and the stabilizer ... let them sit for about 30 seconds and then press them together. Another option would be to get some of the stabilizer than has a tacky surface. The tacky surface stabilizer will allow you to reposition and or use a piece of felt or fabric that is smaller than your hoop but large enough for the design you wish to embroider (by machine).

I haven't tried felt. Honestly it doesn't cut through thicker papers too well, so probably won't work with felt.

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

I use this for all my embroidery. Monogramming and appliqu. It is great. I cut a piece large enough for my hoop and trim about a half inch of the paper off and stick it to the back side of the hoop. Then I cut a section in the middle of the hoop large enough for the design I am using and stick the t-shirt ( or whatever) on the hoop and I am ready to go. I do use an iron on stabilizer on the t-shirt first.

I do not know. I have not given it to my son yet.. It is for his birthday next month... However since it can cut through plastic I would guess that it would work on felt.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

I think this might be a felting machine, like Simplicity's deluxe felting machine, so you could probably use any fabric that would be suitable for needle felting (fleece, felt, bulky knits, etc.).

Bucilla's instructions on how you back them with the felt are located on the opposite sides of the color chart. It seems to suggest taping them together. Personally, I didn't like the felt, so I took white fabric for lining and random christmas fabric and made them actual mini stockings. I also used ribbon instead of twisting the floss for the hanging material. The floss just ended up limp and awkward looking. I hope you find a way that works for you.

Not familiar with fur-felt. I used this on an older ski coat and it has worked fine.

No,, it's pretty stiff for hand embroidery, but it works well in an embroidery machine.

i soaked fabric until sulky was lifting off, and then worked it out of the tight areas. I'd be concerned about the felt. YOu for sure would have to dry and block the faces after soaking them!

I have tried with foamy and works well, I have not tried with felt, when I do I'll let you know.

The die does cut felt. I use a metal plate when cutting felt. The size is 0.5 inches. It is less that 1/2 inch but very cute and looks great on cards and scrapebook pages.

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

It twists one direction, then the other direction, like clock wise and counter clockwise. You can set it for a few minutes or up to 15 minutes. The water does not drain, you fill it up and empty it out in a sink or whatever. Felting wool generates loose fibers that are detrimental to a regular washer. You can stop the a wonder a washer at any time. There is a gentle cycle and standard cycle. I often turn it on again to felt a bigger piece. As a washer I am sure one 15 period would be plenty. Hope this helps!

Do you buy raw, unwashed roving? If so, you need to wash and dry it first then felt with it. I guess you could use raw roving with the machine but washed is so much easier to use. I wash mine then card it with a carding machine (dye it after washing) then I felt the wool though you could buy washed, carded, and dyed wool that is so much easier to use
