I've been looking for a source of thick 100% wool to use for doing this. The TFSR instructions says to use 5 mm thick felt and how to cut them. I didn't want to waste my time chopping up the spool felts sold by lot's of places so I looked and found this place:
http://www.weirdollsandcrafts.com/wo...wool-felt.html
They are selling 100% wool felt sheets at 4 to 5 m/m thick for around $3.50.
I haven't bought any yet, but will as soon as I can.

Just thought this might help.

I replaced the felt/wick in my 127 like you suggested, and it made the shuttle sew much smoother. And I didn't even know it was supposed to be in there. Thanks
