I'm very optimistic about it. I've used acrylic felt in the past for embroidery, and I really liked the results, so hopefully it will work.WTF Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263314251703492801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-34100259069083556842011-08-24T12:02:43.431-07:002011-08-24T12:02:43.431-07:00I went to the flickr stream on a couple of these p...I went to the flickr stream on a couple of these people and ended up losing an hour just drooling over beautiful things!! I wonder if you can use felt, a real wool felt for backing? If you knit, you could make your own swatches, too.

Since nylon threads are the best for beadwork, I choose to sacrifice the embroidery backings and some other materials I might want to use in beading. This is just a personal preference. Ultrasuede is the #1 backing choice for most beaders.WTF Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263314251703492801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-1019089001678858902011-08-24T06:15:23.170-07:002011-08-24T06:15:23.170-07:00I love the photos!
