Anyone used Felted Wool for Applique?
Has anyone used Felted 100% wool to do applique on a quilt that will be washed? Any suggestions from Members for using either felted wool or flannel for applique on a quilt which will be washed and dried.

The wool I get in my LQS has all been dyed which means that it has been already been through the washer and dryer and been felted. Washing on delicate seems a good idea though. I wouldn't want to wash it like once a week but maybe a few times a year. The two links above won't open for me so I don't know if I am duplicating info.

CK your quilt is beautiful. Thank you for answering my question. I am now wondering how much quilting/sewing did you add to the applique pieces? Did you use any fusible web on them? Thank you for your effort and time. I really do appreciate it. Yolanda

Thank you, Everyone, for your help. I am going to do a small applique and give it a dry run first. Your posts were very helpful.

I machine stitched flowers and leaves to a wool blanket that I had machine washed and dried. A second wool blanket supplied the appliques. I passed this on to husband's DIL. I don't know how it has held up to being drug around by an active little boy with two cats. |
