Jen, your attention to details in your tutorials is outstanding! Thanks for taking the time to teach us this wonderful art! 🥰
Thank you Brandi! My hope is that if I am very detailed in the tutorial - you will just able to craft along with me and not have any questions. You can just enjoy the journey. Thank you leaving another lovely comment. :) Jen
Thank you! I love the way you explain everything and take care of every little detail!
You're so welcome Adllee. That's always my goal to go over each detail so that you can be successful every time when approaching a new project. Thanks for watching and commenting. :) Jen
I was given these last Christmas (2020) from my son in law. Best scissors I have ever used.
We're glad you like them!! 😍 -Michelle
These are gorgeous ❗
Beautiful, rich colored wool & a nice monthly project.
Glad you like them! They're gong to be so much fun! - Morgan
I received my first kit recently and wondered how to start. Thank you for the video because it sure helped. Now I realize I need to purchase needles and a couple of other things from you so I can start my candle mat. Looking forward to your other candle mat videos, Jennifer. Thanks again for your assist.
Hi Kathie - I'm so glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I hope you have a wonderful time putting together these adorable candle mats each month. :) Jen
Yes I wish I would have done that one. I would like to get into the wool appliqué but the current one is a bit pricey for me not knowing to much about appliqué and virtually nothing about wool. 🥲 I think this one would have been the perfect one to cut my teeth on.
The snowman mat makes.me smile thanks
We LOVE snowmen!! -Carolyn
Thank you for the free tutorial!
You are welcome! Let us know if you have questions while you go! - Morgan
I haven’t done any appliqué. Thanks for all the easy and helpful tips. So cool!

Thank you for watching, Dorothy! - Sophie
Love the patterns.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment :) Jen
My favorite candle mat is the October one. My daughter was born on Halloween night and she would love to get this as a birthday gift!
That's so much fun! Perfect choice. - Morgan
Amazing!
Which one if your favorite? We would love to know :) Jen
Thank you so much for this video. I quit purchasing kits because I don’t know what to do, and so I don’t put the project together. I want to do so many now!!!
Glad it was helpful! These are such a relaxing way to spend your time after work or on weekends. - Morgan
The bunnies are so enjoyable I'd love to win them Thanks
Hi Donna, Those little bunnies are sure adorable. Good Luck to you! Jen
Thank you for sharing all your know how n tips as well as the newest notions to make the process easy n professional... do you have a retail store in Coure d' Alene ID also ???
So glad it was helpful! We don't have a retail store in CDA, we're online-only. :) - Morgan
Thanks for sharing this! I can't find the next video though.
Hi Jessica - You should be able to access them in our exclusive Facebook Group for this Club: facebook.com/groups/woolycandlematclub/ -Michelle
I have an idea for placing the smaller pieces on the pumpkin. After you have fused your body, flip the placement guide over and place your face pieces face-down. Once in place, place the body on top (face down of course) using the outline as your guide. I would imagine the pieces will stick from the fusing if you want to flip to check before pressing. If you used the fusing mat on top of the reversed guide you can look from the underside and then fuse as is. You could also use either the pressing sheet or the layout guide to support the pieces as you flip it over then fuse.
Hi Jean - I love it! That is one of the best parts about reading customer's comments. I get to learn from my viewers too! Thank you so much for a great suggestion and thank you for watching! :) Jen
Awesome
All 12 are so pretty. We love to know which one is your favorite :) Jen
I love christmas but they are all so beautiful aren't they. It is so great how you show us how to make these things up. I have done the no sew ornaments
Thank you! It’s expensive enough just making a quilt!
You are so welcome! - Morgan
When you’re assembling the pieces on the silicone mat first, do you take the backing off the biggest piece or do you wait to remove that backing until you’re ready to assemble it on the wool? If you did it first, wouldn’t it melt all the glue from the heat and bond and then not stick when you go to press it again?
The silicone mat we used in this video was intended to use with applique, so we find that our shapes don't stick to it when ironing the top pieces on. We haven't experienced negative effects of ironing these applique pieces on the mat, then them not being able to stick to the wool. Hope this helps!! -Michelle www.shabbyfabrics.com/c5278/notions/applique-mats
Can I use embroidery floss for stitching around shapes? What does it cost for a kit and what else do you need to make project?
Hi Carol, you can definitely use embroidery floss to stitch around the shapes. You will just want to use more strands that you would with cotton so that your embroidery stands out. The details, cost and recommended items to complete the candle mats is detailed on this page of our website. We sure hope to see you in our Club. All 12 of these mats are really beautiful. www.shabbyfabrics.com/wooly-candle-mat-club-P89714.aspx
Thank you so very much, will you please notify us when the thread is available.
Hi Janice - Great News - you can get both thread sets now. Here are the links for you:

Thank you, Jen
It all looks so wonderful, but a light box? Kits? I was looking for a fun craft that isn't so expensive.
We have a number of free patterns you can find and use your own wool! Those can be found here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Free-Downloads.aspx

I just received by bag of goods for my Oct. candle mat. Janada Chingwa
So excited to hear that! Let us know how you like the project! - Morgan
Wished you have showed us how and what kind of scissors you used to cut the wool
Thank you for that feedback, Heidi! We recommend Kai embroidery scissors for cutting the wool. You'll trace your shape onto the Heat N Bond, and then iron that to the wool. Follow the traced lines to cut out your pieces. - Morgan
Do you need to store them in a special way to avoid moths or little critters attacking the wool?
You may choose to store wool projects in an air tight container. This is also a great question for our Wool FB Group - facebook.com/groups/2338222796287434 -Michelle
I'm wondering what the heat is on your iron, especially when you just let it sit on top of the wool applique pieces for a lengthy time..
For this project we used the Low setting on our Panasonic iron. -Bethany
What is the brand of the Wool Applique Mat? Thank you very much! God bless you.
Our Wooly Mats brand is Shabby Fabrics and you can find the whole selection on ShabbyFabrics.com! -Michelle
I can’t seem to find the other two videos, one is labeled private and I don’t see a third video.
Sew sorry about that! Try these links: th-cam.com/video/lUC2umxtvWQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/I3-o5zI80Ns/w-d-xo.html -Michelle
Where is the additional video to this series? I want to see the whole process and cannot find it?
Hello Lillian! Here is the link to the other video that we have available: th-cam.com/video/lUC2umxtvWQ/w-d-xo.html - Yajaira
I would love to learn wool appliqué. I just started learning how to cross stitch. Do you all do anything with cross stitch? I recently started on a very beginner cross stitch and I absolutely love it I am addicted.
That's a great question! While we haven't delved too deep into cross stitching yet, we do have cross stitch patterns available on our website and we have some hand embroidery videos here: th-cam.com/users/ShabbyFabricssearch?query=embroidery 🧡 -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics I will take a look thanks so much. I don’t do a lot of detail cross stitch as I am very new to it and just learning about the different cloths etcetera. I have been buying them from Erica Arndt here on TH-cam. I started following her for her homeschool curriculum she writes as I am a homeschooler. She got into quilting and designing her own things and this girl rocks. Just does beautiful things and very easy for a beginner like me. She does a vintage truck of the month, that I love. Thanks for answering. Blessings from Texas!
I dont know ,I have not do it but why not you put the paper face down and put the pieces from the last one to the first one , like thee pumking eyes first and the body on top and press it , you can put some wax peper to protec the iron , jjust an idea.
Those are some good ideas for sure. Thanks for watching :) Jen
Hi...where can I get the Cut Right tracing paper?
Great question! Jen uses the Heat N Bond paper I went ahead and attached the link for you right here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/heat-n-bond-ultrahold-17-x-1-yd-P66599.aspx?ref=SearchAutocomplete - Yajaira
Hi what material r u using . I did it with felt material n sew my hand tq
Hi Sheila - we used 100% wool fabrics for this project. Hope this helps! -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics tq
Where can I buy your kit? Or become a club member?
Hi Sylvie - This club has ended, but you can purchase the patterns & kits here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/c5802 -Michelle
Hi, is wool and felt is same?
Hello! To help clarify, according to the Wikipedia: "Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp-based rayon. Blended fibers are also common." While felt is usually composed of wool (and sometimes other blended fibers), we specify that these mats are wool felt so that you know what type of fiber the felted material is made of. Hope this makes sense!! -Michelle
Where can I buy small pieces of wool?
One option to consider would be wool charm packs: www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=wool+charm -Michelle
Looks to be a nice club to join. Does one need to purchase the wool kit or can I only get the pattern and use my own wool? Also, why is Halloween always selected to highlight in October? An autumn theme would be appealing to everyone and provide usage for a longer time over the season. I am not a fan of pagan Halloween, pumpkins or witches and I know there are a many who believe the same.
@@elenaallen5946
Pumpkins are an Autumn gourd. You don't have to put a face on it. This is the only time of the year the fruit is produced, so its very recognizable. Just alter the wool into your own designs. Acorns, fall leaves, etc.
Hi Roxanne, I know that many people enjoy the more overt theme of Halloween for October so we tend to choose is due to customer request but you could choose just the pumpkins with no faces and perhaps add in a different theme where the witches hats are. We chose beautiful autumn leaves for our November project so that one might appeal to you more.
Can you still join the woolly candle mat club and do all 12 mats
Hi Lori! We're not currently running the Club, but you can find these kits here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=Wooly+Candle+Kit 💖 -Michelle
What is the finished size of the candle mat?
Hi Nancy - The finish size for these wool candle mats is approximately 9.25" x 10". Hope this helps! -Michelle
❤❤❤❤❤😂
😍 😍 😍 😍 -Michelle
So it's NOT rocket science!!
Haha! That's right. No PhD in Astrophysics is required for wool appliqué. It's really fun and easy to do and of course the finish product is beautiful! Jump in and grab a spot. We would love to have you join us! :) Jen
cute projects, but the hair in the eyes is distracting
Stfu
Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to figure out how to keep it back and away so the focus can stay on the tutorials. Jen
shush. just let us have nice things.
