Default Felt Alternative

I posted a question last week about using felt for a puppy dog quilt. At the time, I had bought those acrylic squares of felt and, as expected, when I washed them they pilled. I then bought some wool felt and, although it didn’t pill, other strange things happened to it when it was washed and dried. I knew it would shrink but it also got very thick which won’t work well when layering the applique pieces.

So I carted my sorry tail back to JoAnn’s once again but this time I bought some faux suede for the appliques. Anything I should know about using that? I’ll be using fusible webbing so I’m not concerned about it sliding around.
