There should be a happy medium there. Or, you can wait until the bolts go on sale and by some 1/4 yards!

It is definitely cheaper and holds up just as well! For illustration purposes and beginners, I recommend the WSS so you don't have to worry about what shows on the final product until you get the hang of it all :)Erinhttp://www.originalstitches.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008371068107015436.post-12873242587605133172014-12-05T06:56:18.109-08:002014-12-05T06:56:18.109-08:00The felt I use are quite floppy.

I use a LIGHTWEIGHT tearaway stabilizer and it tears away super cleanly. Just be sure to tear away the excess stabilizer before you trim your felt design (otherwise it will be hard to tear it away). Hope this saves you some $$$. WSS can be pricey!<br />Also I wanted to say THANK YOU for the tip on using the Hold It. Awesome tip!

If the felt holds up, you can get the craft store felt, wool felt, stiff felt, or even fun zebra felt :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677426635029762051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008371068107015436.post-60435385811792220452014-03-29T11:23:58.249-07:002014-03-29T11:23:58.249-07:00I know this is an older post, but I was wondering ...I know this is an older post, but I was wondering if there is a specific type of felt that you should use when making these on an embroidery machine? I know some people order their felt online, and didn't know if it is any different than what you find in the craft stores? Or just cheaper online? I want to give it a try but don't want to have to order a ton if I don't have to.
