I use it to do practice blocks on my embroidery machine. I don't need to use stabilizer with it.

Ohhh, thank you for this - so neat! Our house (here in the country) was built in 1890, and I have been having fun looking up crafts and life of that era. This site fits in perfectly. Thank you.

I'm glad you liked it!
I love seeing all these jobs!
But this material does not reach my country!
Enjoy them!
A hug!

If it is large enough use it as a design wall.

Wool felt may shrink some, be itchy if there is an allergy, and cost too much to 'waste' on a quilt back, and polyester felt will come apart very quickly with use and washing. I use it (Polyester) as batting in wall quilts, or 'art' quilts. IMHO

Felt won't work for quilt back. It will work for "artsy"
projects. You can make a wall hanging with it. A table runner. It's good for applique type projects. Keep in mind you will not want to wash it often, and if you do, hand wash. Lay out to dry.
