Frequently Asked Questions

Does acrylic felt fray?

No. Felt is non-woven — cut edges stay clean without hemming or serging. This makes it one of the easiest fabrics to work with.

What's the difference between 1.6mm and 3.2mm felt?

1.6mm is flexible — ideal for crafts, applique, and costumes. 3.2mm is stiffer — better for bags, hats, and structural items. Browse our 3.2mm felt collection.

Can I sew this felt by machine?

Yes. Use a universal needle (80/12) and slightly longer stitch (3.0-3.5mm). Felt doesn't stretch or shift, making it beginner-friendly.
