Fibre Needle
What to make with an embellishing machine?
My mother recently bought an embellisher machine. It is a little like a sewing machine, except that it uses a cluster of needles to stamp the fibres of fabric together and bind them. I was thinking of buying her some kind of craft book to give her ideas of things to make.
However, I have done some research on ideas to use on such a machine, and I can find no leads- no books, webpages or advice. Can anybody help?
look for books and websites on "needle felting" and "needle felting by machine" and you will have better luck. Needle felting is the name for the technique, the machine makes it faster and easier. You can also layer yarns on fabric and use the machine to mesh them together, you can also lay yarns on other yarns and mesh them into a new felt fabric...what you can do with these is limited only by imagination.
Here are the first bunch of results I got by entering "needle felting by machine"

Also check the website of the machine's manufacturer, they often have project sheets available.

Nettle for Fibre by John-Paul Flintoff - "Through the Eye of a Needle"
Wet Felting: A Great Craft
Felt can be made through a process known as "wet felting". To complete this process layers of different coloured wool fibre are layered together. The wool fibre has hooks on it and the intention is to rub the fibres together so the hooks intertwine and interlock - the result is a continuous piece of woolen felt.
The fibres are interlocked through continually rubbing and agitating the woolen fibres together and using water as a lubricant. Hence the name wet felting.
Wet felting is used for making craft items such as scarves and pieces of material which can be sewn into your desired project.
Dry Felting or Needle Felting is an alternative way to make felt. The dry felting process consists of taking pieces of wool and needling this wool with a felt needle. The felt needle has barbs on it and these barbs interlock the hooks in the woolen fibre and create felt. With this process you can free design, shape and create items like puppets and soft toys. This craft is ideal for children as you can use the animals you have made as a central theme in a story and create a children's story.
Felt is a great product that is safe, univeral and can be cut, glued, shaped and added to many projects.
There are many types of felt. The type depends on what material is used to make the felt.
Foss Felt is made in America. Foss Felt is 100% polyester and is available in five types:
- Glitter Craft Felt: It is similar to classic felt, but has glitter pieces woven through it.
- Classic Craft Felt: It is a smooth felt.
- Plush Craft Felt: It has a long nap and is used for toy making.
- Sticky Craft Felt: This type of felt is adhesive backed.
- Shaggy Craft Felt: It has the longest nap and ideal for teddy bears.
There is also woolen felt which is made from wool and often has viscose in it. This wool is very soft to touch and is ideal if you are making items which will be close to the skin.
Another type of felt is Wonder Felt. This felt is an economical multi-purpose fabric that can be used for making various kinds of projects. It is used for art wall hangings, wadding, chair pad backing and home decorating. Wonder Felt also makes a perfect storage box liner to protect your delicate items.
