Recommended Fabrics:
Just about any fabric can be felted with the creative™ Felting Embroidery Set, however, afterwards some fabrics tend to give a more favorable result when embellished or laundered. The recommended fabrics are those made from natural fibers, such as wool and wool roving. 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. The effect differs from fabric to fabric. Always test on a piece of material before you start.
Hooping:
When embroidering with the felting needles, no threads are used. The fabric is hooped with the right side facing down. When embroidering free-standing designs or when using wool roving, a water soluble stabilizer is needed.
