| Hi Judy, How about using a "tacky" water soluble, with a AquaFilm Washaway Topping. This would allow you to arrange all your scraps on the sticky surface, so long as you don't pat them down you can easily rearrange until your happy. Leave some of the tacky surface uncovered around the perimeter...lay the "topping" over, pressing down onto that uncovered "tacky" surface. Now you can needle felt....if you want to strengthen, pin some dyed cheesecloth or scrim to the back of the stack. Once you are happy with the amount of punching you've done from the front, you can turn it over, punch from the back and get some wonderful texture on the front. Once done, trim the excess stabilizer should you need to and wash away. Fun! Jan

I do die cuts with my wool felt. I try to get all the cuts I can out of it. I end up with a lot of bits and pieces that are really not big enough to get anything cut out of them. My question is, can these be felted together to make a nice size piece. I know the colors would be mixed and marbled like, but I think they would make awesome die cut leave. Let me know how to do this. Judy
