FAQs

What does 'tonal yellows' mean?

Tonal yellows means the pack contains different shades and hues within the yellow color family, allowing for subtle variations and depth in your projects.

Is this felt suitable for outdoor use?

This felt is designed for indoor craft projects. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may degrade the material and affect its color.

Can I iron this felt?

It is best to avoid direct ironing as high heat can melt the polyester fibers. If pressing is needed, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth and test on a small scrap piece first.

What is the thickness of the felt?

The felt has a standard thickness of 2 mm.

Can children use this felt safely?

Yes, the felt is made from non-toxic 100% polyester and is safe for children's crafts. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children during cutting and gluing.

How many sheets of felt are in one pack?

Each pack contains 8 sheets of A4 felt.

Can I use this felt for machine embroidery?

Yes, this felt is suitable for machine embroidery and stumpwork, offering a stable base for stitching.

Troubleshooting

Felt edges fraying during cutting

Ensure you are using sharp scissors or a clean die-cutting blade. For intricate cuts, consider using a rotary cutter or a sharp craft knife on a cutting mat.

Glue not adhering well

Ensure both the felt and the surface you are attaching it to are clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive like a hot glue gun or fabric glue for best results.

Felt losing shape after stretching

While durable, avoid excessive stretching. For projects requiring significant structural integrity, consider reinforcing the felt with interfacing or a backing material.

Color transfer to other materials

Although generally colorfast, it is advisable to test for colorfastness if using in prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet.
