Felty turns into appliqué, labels and patches — cut, stitch, sew on, done. At 25 cm wide and 3 m on the roll there is material for several projects. Its weight per square metre is 210 g/m².
It also suits craft work with children, since nothing frays and nothing needs finishing. 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 Türkis is suitable for
- craft work with children
- 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
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 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.
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.
