a smaller yarn? I am making some gifty type items for co-workers and gift exchanges out of felt that I've made with sweaters from the thrift. I was just curious what others do--do you sew with a heavy duty coat thread, or do you sew with wool in your felting. This isn't for decorative stitching, but rather to hold the thing together :)
The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.
It depends on if I'm sewing on the machine or not. On the machine I use a regular old polyester or cotton type thread, a heavier topstitching type thread and needle. By hand, I will use either that or yarn depending on the look I want. My fancy new machine doesn't like to sew felt much but my old 1954 Singer plows through it like butter.
Thanks...I'll be hand stitching because I'm still too much of a chicken to get my new sewing machine out of the box! I just prefer to hand stitch, and I guess I'm pretty good at it by now :)
