    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.

    The ideas for the penny rugs have given me inspiration.
