Details
With the HUSQVARNA® VIKING® Felting Embroidery Set, you can create the most amazing felted embroideries. The effect is created when embroidering without threads but with a special needle that felts fibers together. The effect of the embellishment can be changed dramatically by using different types of fabric/wool.
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.
