Polyester felt with the advantage craft felt lacks: Felty is washable and keeps both shape and colour. One roll of 3 m, 25 cm wide — you cut it to hoop size. Its weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
The cut edge does not fray — so it needs no finishing. The 25 cm roll matches what the felt is used for: labels, patches, small appliqué. Large areas are rarely the point. Store it dry, flat and without creases. It ships singly, so you can restock exactly what you need.
What Sulky Felty Stickfilz Rosa Melange is suitable for
- appliqué on clothing and bags
- 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 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.
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.
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.
