My local JoAnn has a few colors, and I've just recently connected with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BenzieBazaar" rel="nofollow">Benzie Bazaar</a> and will be trying their wool blend felt.<br /><br />100% wool feels like a luxury, and I use it more for special things or in small amounts. <a href="http://Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-27824372987041735182012-11-12T09:05:46.159-06:002012-11-12T09:05:46.159-06:00I am a quilter, so I am at the iron A LOT!

There are a million different shops on Etsy (ok, not a million) and I know of a few websites that sell blends, but I was curious what you prefer. If you have a preference. :) Thanks!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671750945060377685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-34395113071959422042012-11-11T09:18:04.601-06:002012-11-11T09:18:04.601-06:00Hehe, I feel that it turns the embroidery into a r...Hehe, I feel that it turns the embroidery into a reward. :-) It's a good thing my mom never caught on or I would have spent half my childhood ironing. You know, here honey, if you iron daddies shirts i'll let you embroider this.......... Or, hey mom, I ironed the entire living room carpet! Can I embroider that pillowcase!?

I am amazed when people say they never iron anything-we iron lots of our clothes (I iron a suit shirt for my husband to wear to work 4 days a week-Friday is business casual). I have never ironed felt, but always iron cotton before cutting or sewing because I worry the wrinkles will make the piece uneven if I don't!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08307119158765850624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-34944167944178422982012-11-10T11:00:06.893-06:002012-11-10T11:00:06.893-06:00I totally agree about ironing.
