I have taken an interest in the method of sewing called "felting". I am wondering if any of you have used a felting machine and can give me some ideas on creative ways to use it in my scrapbooking projects. Any Ideas?

I saw the felting machine on the internet so I went down to the local sewing machine shop and he demonstrated it to me yesterday. I have never seen a felting machine either. You can permanently join fabrics and fibers together with 5 needles that are thread free and will just pierce the fabrics fibers and welds them together...it combines the fibers from both pieces...it is permanent...you can never separate them again. You can take a fancy piece of yarn and attach it to a jacket, pants, any fabric...it's pretty neat. You can attach any fabric to another fabric. I do not know if fabrics have acid in them...thought it would work neat on a scrapbooking page.

i do alot of crafting and i have been doing all kinds of crafts ever since i was a little girl but i have never heard of "felting" and i have never heard of a felting machine i have worked with felt though but i do not know if that is the type that you are sewing or not felt is good to add to your scrapbook pages but i always just glue it down to the pages instead of sewing it paper wears down your sewing needle so i try not to sew through paper alot
