Can you do this with your existing sewing machine or do you have to buy a special machine if you don't want to do it by hand?

I've got the needles, I just haven't done anything with them yet.

It's very easy Amy. I taught myself. I needle felt doll's hair-so cool to be able to "style" hair in so many different ways! I've also done some designs on purses, totes, and pincushions. I've seen some adorable little felted animals too. I'd love to try that myself!
And hey look ^ Rebekka is willing to teach you the tricks of the trade! 
LOTS of info online too-just do a search! Do tell/show us what you are going to make!
Happy felting!

I have played around with it. For Christmas, I taught myself to make sheep. It was fun and easy, and they turned out cute. I have seen cuter and nicer ones, but I enjoyed mine too. We can call them more primitive!! I really like needle felting. Find it relaxing I guess.
