HUSQVARNA® VIKING® Felting Embroidery Set (8)
FABRICS
Just about any fabric can be felted with the Felting Embroidery Set, however, some fabrics tend to give a more favorable result when embellished or laundered.
The recommended fabrics are those that are 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.
