is it good for felting?

It's terrific for felting. Just include a few tennis balls with the load to help with agitation. See my review for more information and thoughts on felting.

I have never tried, but seriously doubt it. I think any felt would get stuck in the punch.

No. It can be used for seam binding, top stitching, and elastic application with appropriate attachments.

I have used polyester as a in felting before; On its own it looks good and gives the piece a nice fuzzy quality that looks good on white animal projects, but wool doesn't stick to is very well and therefore winds up requiring a lot more work getting your main colors to stick to it. This bag of wool is AWESOME. I have made nearly 30 small-medium projects out of it over the last few months and still have an ample supply. Trust me the ease of felting it and how far it goes makes it completely worth the price

I really don't know. I bought it a couple of years ago for my granddaughter in college. You could always put felt on the bottom.

I don't know about that. You'd likely have to contact Roland. They do mention not using felt beaters though. I made the mistake once and it marked it up almost instantly and looked like it could do damage fast. I get the feeling the felt beaters "grab" the pad material and pull it apart.

I use them to buff Acrylic Chess Pieces that I make. I use two different buffing compounds and find that felt pieces work just fine. I first sand everything to a "smooth as glass" feel, then buff them. I have no complaints. Good luck.

I have not used it to cut felt, but believe it would be lovely. Of all of the sets of Framelits I own, this one is my favorite and, most used. I have a good friend who makes beautiful cards and this is her favorite as well.

Not familiar with fur-felt. I used this on an older ski coat and it has worked fine.

I used it to decorate onesies, and although I tried to use this to attach felt pieces to cotton onesies, it definitely wasn't as durable as with other fabrics. The felt pieces didn't stick as well. However, it worked well enough to stick on, and then I just embroidered the edges and the felt pieces have stayed on.

Yes. I've used it as a source of polyurethane foam for craft projects-- cuts well with electric carving knife or a utility blade. Any creases or crush marks come out well when sprayed lightly with water and steamed carefully with a warm iron.

You might be able to cut felt as long as you had a new sticky mat that would hold the material well. After you cut, I would imagine that the mat would not be worth keeping because of all the tiny fibers that would stick to it. Myself, I don't think I would try it. I really wish Cricut would create a product that would clean the mat from residue fibers (even from paper) so that they would last longer. Hope this helps.

Yes, it works very well. Make sure to use the brush to get dirt out. Then use the felt tip.

No it will not cut through felt. Its not sharp enough to cut through the fibrous of the felt. It may cut a little, but you definitely not get a good clean cut. I am afraid that it may dull the hole puncher if you use it on other fabrics that's not leather.

i haven't had much luck with markers on felt of any kind, but I think the wool felt would be worth a try.

Yes it works fairly well for crafting. This past winter I set up on my patio while in Texas. It was lovely to be outside sewing. I have a small Janome machine.

I have not....but I wouldn't try it unless you are willing to have it be ruined. Ever wash a wool sweater in the machine? The combination of water and friction causes the wool to "felt," which makes it shrink and get dense. Since the wool filling is inside a cotton cover, it seems that it would get enough friction to felt, and it's not like you can comb it out. You might be left with a lots-o-lumps comforter. And since the cover is 100% cotton that could shrink too. Also, the wool would soak up so much water and it could become so heavy it might damage your machine, or the water may never spin out and you could be left with a moldy mess. If you just want to freshen it up, hang it in the sun (if you are in an area that has sun this time of year!) or throw it in the dryer on extra low (if you have it) or fluff, and add a sachet of lavender, or a rag that has your favorite essential oils dripped on it. Try to avoid putting a dryer sheet in there, dryer sheets contain chemicals that can coat the fibers. If you had a spill or something, treat it like you would carpet with spot treating and a mild soap. Try to dab instead of scrubbing. Or look for a "green" dry cleaner such as Blue Sky. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer, but my experience with washing machine disasters has taught me caution!
