Felty is the embroidery felt for anything meant to be small and precise — letters, badges, tags, patches. Width 25 cm, length 3 m: the size that suits the usual embroidery hoops. Its weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
For labels, patches and appliqué it is the simplest base: cut, stitch, sew on. Whatever is left of the roll can be used without loss — felt offcuts do not fray and store indefinitely. It ships singly, so you can restock exactly what you need. If you embroider regularly, keeping one of the common sizes in stock pays off.
What Sulky Felty Stickfilz Blau is suitable for
- machine embroidery on felt
- advent calendars and seasonal decor
- coasters and small home textiles
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
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.
Can I glue felt instead of sewing?
For decor yes, for clothing rather not. Glued joints lift at the edges in the wash. Combining both — glue and edge stitch — gives the most durable result.
Does it suit children?
Very well. Nothing frays, nothing needs finishing, and scissors are tool enough. For first sewing projects it is the simplest material choice. The result also looks tidy at the first attempt.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them. Felt offcuts store indefinitely, do not fray and are plenty for letters, small shapes and badges — work that only needs strips anyway. A shoebox of felt offcuts is worth its weight in any workroom.
