Felty is dense enough to embroider and soft enough to drape — the mixture that matters in an embroidery felt. The web measures 25 cm across; the roll holds 3 m. The stated weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
Cut with sharp scissors or a rotary cutter; blunt blades drag fibres out of the surface. The felt stays colourfast through frequent washing; the garment it sits on sets the limit. Store it dry, flat and without creases. It ships singly, so you can restock exactly what you need.
What Sulky Felty Stickfilz Grau Melange is suitable for
- appliqué on clothing and bags
- craft work with children
- buttons and badges
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
Does the cut edge fray?
No. Felt is not a weave but a needled surface — it has no grain and no warp that could unravel. That is why a cut edge needs no finishing.
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.
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.
How thick is the felt?
Dense enough to hold its shape and thin enough for a sewing machine to handle without effort. For appliqué on clothing that is exactly the right range.
