Acrylic felt isn't just for crafts. The 3.2mm thickness is used in professional and industrial applications:
Acrylic felt is one of the best materials for die cutting machines. Here are the optimal settings:
| Machine | 1.6mm Felt | 3.2mm Felt |
|---|---|---|
| Cricut Maker | Rotary blade, Felt setting, pressure: Default | Deep-point blade, 2 passes, pressure: More |
| Cricut Explore | Deep-point blade, Custom: Thick Felt | Not recommended (too thick) |
| Silhouette Cameo 4 | Blade depth: 5, Speed: 3, Force: 20 | Blade depth: 10, Speed: 1, Force: 33, 2 passes |
Tips: Always use a strong grip mat. Place felt right-side up. For intricate designs, use 1.6mm felt - it cuts cleaner on small details. Apply transfer tape over the felt before cutting to keep pieces from shifting.

EOVEA offers wholesale pricing for schools, churches, after-school programs, and organizations ordering felt in bulk. Buying 5+ yards per color significantly reduces per-yard cost. We carry all 40+ colors in stock for fast shipping from the USA. For classroom projects serving 25-30 students, plan approximately 0.5 yard per student in each color needed. Contact us for custom quantity quotes on large orders.
Store felt flat or loosely rolled - tight folding can create permanent creases. Keep in a dry location; while acrylic felt resists moisture, prolonged dampness can cause mildew on stored fabric. Felt does not need pre-washing before use. If wrinkled, use a steamer on low heat or lay flat with a damp cloth and press gently with a warm iron. Never apply a hot iron directly - acrylic fibers can melt.

1.6mm felt is standard thickness, ideal for most crafts, school projects, and die-cutting. 3.2mm felt is double thickness, providing extra rigidity for bags, industrial padding, table covers, and projects needing more structure.
No, acrylic felt does not fray when cut. This is one of its biggest advantages for crafts - you can cut any shape without hemming or finishing the edges. It holds its shape well and is easy to glue or sew.
EOVEA carries over 40 colors of acrylic felt in both 1.6mm and 3.2mm thicknesses. Colors range from basic black, white, and red to specialty shades like coral, seafoam, and eggplant.
