What to do with felt?
#11
I definitely agree cjomomma. Felt will break down after a few washes. Some people like to use them in wall hangings or tabletoppers that really won't be washed. If you do need to clean it, you can vacuum it with a vacuum's wand or spot clean with a damp cloth. I called a quilter once to see if I could use felt instead of wool when it called for some accents in a wall hanging but she was quite skiddish of mixing felts with anything that was machine washable so I didn't. But, I've seen some lovely felt hangings that were rustic and cute.

Do you have enough for a design wall?
I glued some to a tray to hold beads while working.
Have little people around? Make an old fashioned felt board for stories, letters, words, numbers.
I applique with up-cycled wool and blanket stitched felt has held up pretty well on pillows and table toppers.
Warm insoles for boots, shoes, slippers?

How about using it similar to a batting (after first washing it because it shrinks a lot)? I have wondered about that - using like with embroidered squares to give a stablility to the pattern? Was thinking of trying it.

I am making the fruits, veggies, breads etc for my grandsons for Christmas. I saw the beautiful ones Granny_59, on this board, did and I just had to do some. some are from felt and some are from fabric. she had plenty of pics and even a few helpful tutorials.
