Felty is Sulky's washable embroidery felt: stable in shape, dense and finished so the cut edge stays clean. It ships as 12 sheets in 21 × 29,5 cm format. Its weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
This felt takes machine embroidery and hand work alike — both work because it holds its shape. Felt has an advantage no woven fabric has: it knows no grain. You cut in any direction and the edge still stays closed. Store it dry, flat and without creases. It ships singly, so you can restock exactly what you need.
What Sulky Felty Stickfilz Bunt is suitable for
- appliqué on clothing and bags
- labels and patches
- machine embroidery on felt
Sewing tips
- Der Filz franst nicht, die Kante braucht also keine Versäuberung.
- Zum Besticken ein Stickvlies unterlegen, sonst zieht die Stichdichte den Filz zusammen.
- Waschbar bei 30 °C — Applikationen halten damit auch an Kleidung, die regelmäßig gewaschen wird.
- Mit einer scharfen Schere oder dem Rollschneider zuschneiden; stumpfe Klingen ziehen Fasern.
- Für Aufnäher den Filz mit Aufbügelvlies hinterlegen, dann bleibt die Form auch nach dem Aufbügeln erhalten.

Frequently asked questions
Can I wash the felt?
Yes, at 30 °C. It keeps its shape and its colour. The real limit comes from the garment the appliqué sits on rather than from the felt.
Can I embroider on it?
Yes, by machine as much as by hand. A stabiliser belongs under the felt, otherwise stitch density draws the surface together and the design ripples.
What do I cut it with?
Sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. Blunt blades drag fibres out of the surface, and the edge then looks ragged even though felt cannot actually fray.
How do I make a patch from it?
Stitch the design, cut it out, back it with fusible stabiliser and press it on. An edge stitch makes it durable — especially where a piece rubs while worn.
