With the creative Felting Embroidery Set, you can create the most amazing felted embroideries. The effect is created when embroidering without threads and instead, using a special needle that felts the fibers together. 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.
