3. Start Embellishing
Let your creativity soar with this needle felting machine! Now you can create your projects even
more distinctive. Let your imagination run unlimitedly to create beautiful felted embellishment on
your arts and crafts, home decorating, quilting, sewing, and scrap booking.
What kind of fabrics and trims can I use with the needle felting machine?
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 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 has a smooth surface.
Can I launder my 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 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 the
finished project to "shrink" so the felted fibers will stay meshed.
With this in mind, be sure to make the project a little large 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.
