Frequently Asked Questions Does acrylic felt fray? No. Felt is non-woven — cut edges stay clean without hemming or serging. This makes it one of the easiest fabrics to work with. What's the difference between 1.6mm and 3.2mm felt? 1.6mm is flexible — ideal for crafts, applique, and costumes. 3.2mm is stiffer — better for bags, hats, and structural items. Need stiffer felt? Select the 3.2mm thickness option above. Can I sew this felt by machine? Yes. Use a universal needle (80/12) and slightly longer stitch (3.0-3.5mm). Felt doesn't stretch or shift, making it beginner-friendly. Browse more craft materials in our Felt & Craft Collection or explore all black fabrics. Need bulk? See our Felt Rolls.
