I like this idea! (and I'm slower than you to catch on b/c I never heard of it lol)
I bought wool felt for ornaments and it's pricy. Around 10.00 a yard or something like that. You'll know wool from the others by the price.
I bet what you used is the poly one- not the craft felt either.
I'm going to try it, thanks! :D

I have used it in table runners for quite some time now as it does not give the loft that cotton or poly would so that it is diffucult to put something on, like a cup of coffee or like thing, but it give a stability to the runner so it isn't limp. I think it is the ideal solution.

I just use a layer of muslin inside, enough weight, but not so much fluff.

love the felt idea. the batting, as previously mentioned, makes the items placed on the mat tipsy. thanks

I didn't know there was a washable felt. I will have to give it a try.
