[machine_needle_felting] base for 1st experiment?

 



hi everyone.. do i need to use 100% wool batting  or can i use a wool blend as a base to machine felt fibers on???   i want to start experimenting with my machine but dont know if a wool/synthecic blend will hold the fibers .  i will have to purchase one or the other but want to "experiment" inexpensively..  

 

 im unable to open any of the videos mentioned on the list..all i get is a white box with the ms color logo inside

 thanks in advance and happy holidays

Honestly, I don't think you need classes.  After my demo at the quilt show, I watched videos on the different web sites that sell embellishers, YouTube, got Pokey Bolton's DVD from Quilting Arts, read the books by Linda Hall, Her Majesty Margo, poked around on web sites including www.tryourdesigns.com to get the gist of the materials & techniques used.  Then, you just gotta jump in & do it—LOL  You can buy little packets of trims at quilt shows to start using to see how the different materials work & react to the needles before you invest in a lot of "stash".  Then just go for it.

Thank you, Barb.  I think I will buy the one my Pfaff dealer has for sale, *if* she ever gets around to having a class on it.  That way, if I have questions with it, I will have support.  I don't have a Brother dealer that is reasonably close.  My Pfaff dealer isn't MUCH closer, but at least I know the way to her shop.  She's about a 90 minute drive, whereas the Brother dealer is about 3 hours (one way).
