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. The stated weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
For labels, patches and appliqué it is the simplest base: cut, stitch, sew on. Felty is Sulky's polyester embroidery felt: stable in shape, washable and dense enough for the cut edge to stay clean. That separates it from craft felt, which loses its shape in the first wash. Before the first design on a new fabric, a test piece with the same material pays off.
What Sulky Felty Stickfilz Neonpink is suitable for
- labels and patches
- machine embroidery on felt
- craft work with children
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 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.
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.
Does an appliqué hold without stitching?
In the short term yes, permanently no. Washing and rubbing lift a glued edge. A narrow zigzag or straight stitch around it settles the matter for good.
