This is exactly the video I was looking for. I am planning to make mine larger, hopefully my end result will be 16 x 16, so I am going to start with an increase of 30% just in case. I just got a super needle felting tool with like 20 needles so I'm going to use that baby to see what happens when I needle felt the roll with it before wet felting. Great video, I'm so glad you shared this, thank you.
Finally got around to doing this for myself! I had a large piece of calligraphy felt from a different "thing", and used it as my flat mat. Time will tell if it works. Currently in the washer. I had bought some super cheap batting...why, I don't know. I had just learned about needle felting and thought it was a good idea. Well, it became my stuffing! At least it is getting used! Love your humor, hands, and creativity!
A little bit of baking soda with the soap makes a good difference and yes with clothes or old towels and tennis balls in the dryer. I wonder also about a few layers of Home Depot moving blkts. They are felt. Used to be wool felt but possibly acrylic these days. I may try to knit with 2 strands fisherman's wool and felt it for layers. Thank you so much for all your videos. I haven't yet begun to needle felt have supplies arriving soon to start. Love your videos and thoughtful explanations
Sono lidia da Roma e sto vedendo pian piano tutti i tuoi video con tanti pollici in su. Spero visto il tuo nome italiano mi comprendi. Intuisco da quello che fai e devi spiegare anche in maniera dettagliata e vorrei prendere qualche idea tu sei fantastica e molto brava un grande saluto👏👏👏
Thank you for this felt session. I was wondering if I could "felt" myself a pillow, much like you said how this wool felting surface could be used as a neck pillow (for long car drives or air travel)
Up to now I've made my surfaces out of burlap jute and filled it with rice - it has been useable for 3 to 5 month. Now I am going to try this kind of surfaces and I'm looking forward on how long I can use this alternative It surely will look nicer!!!! Thank you for sharing your ideas with us! Doris
Me encanta todo lo que haces. Podria decirme que material utiliza en este video y yo ya buscaré la traducción? Me gusta mucho el colorido de su fieltro, donde se consigue? Gracias y enhorabuena por sus trabajos😍😘
Why do you not like to use a foam block for felting surface. Also wondering if you could get a wool horse pad, and use it to make a Mcstab? They use the wool horse pad for quilting, a lot. Just a idea.
Please I would like to know if, when you are working on the pad , the fibres of the figure that’s not stuck and mix with the fibres of the cushion? Thanks
Did you run it through all cycles of the washer or just rinse/spin? At what temperature? Dry with clothes or no and for approximately how long? Great idea. Definitely going to try this.
Hello! We no longer carry the Phil (wool stuffing) but we do have Flat Matt, an even nicer version now. www.sarafinafiberart.com/collections/2d-felting/products/flat-matt-2-0-prefelt_prefelt-flat-matt
Thank you so much for this - it's exactly what I was looking for. Mine started out 16" square and came out of the dryer at 12 by 14 which is great. Mine is still shedding a little bit; does that mean I didn't use the soap enough or rub it enough, or is that to be expected?
Thank you Sara, this eco-friendly idea has been in my mind recently and it's great you've done all the hard work and, as usual, presented so well! I have sheep, so shall try incorporating carded 'core' wool within the package, and see how that goes. When you say 'regular' cycle wash, is that 40 degrees? Any thoughts on 60 degrees, or is 40 ample? And do you dry on hot or warm? Thank you so much again.
I am a bobbin lace maker in Australia and wanted to make a wool felted pricking pad. After watching this video l now have some ideas. Just hoping to be able to get these items here. Price of postage would make it very expensive to buy from you.
Sara Renzulli I understand. I only started needle felting last year and you taught me how to do it and reasonably well for a beginner. I Just thought I’d ask ( you should always ask :)) but I do admire your teaching techniques and obviously your work is outstanding. Thank you anyway
Thanks for a great lap felting surface tutorial.
I absolutely love the felt block that you already have done. With the green and pink mix. Absolutely beautiful
Love the sound of the fabric scissors ❤😊❤
Is that weird ? 😄
These are really neat. Thank you for the video Sara.
So want to make a rainbow one!! 🌈 😊 Great demo, thanks for sharing ⭐️🌸
Thank you! Your tutorials are the best! Hey Milo
Going to give this a try with my daughter, such a fun project and totally personalize able thank you
What is a flat mat?
This is awesome... can't wait to try it!

Yesterday in my dream I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, when I woke up my new felting surface was gone? lol (so hard to find jokes to fit this video:-)
Thanks for sharing this! The one I have needs to be longer so now I know how! Watch all I can of you!

What is flat mat? Is it quilt batting?
Hi, love your demos.
Can you explain what is flat mat please? Also, is ‘fill’ what we call core here in the uk? Tia x
Sara Renzulli 👍
Please I would like to know if, when you are working on the pad , the fibres of the figure that’s not stuck and mix with the fibres of the cushion? Thanks
This really looks fun , so you need the landscape , the flat thing and the fill, what is the water wrap thing called again? 😘✨💖❣️😎
Did you run it through all cycles of the washer or just rinse/spin? At what temperature? Dry with clothes or no and for approximately how long? Great idea. Definitely going to try this.
Do you sell Paddy McStab at your store though
What is the thinner cream colored fabric called?/ where can I find it? (:

Did I miss what settings were used for the washer & dryer?
I want to make a cylindrical one like a pressing ham. I'm thinking making a jelly roll of matt and phil then adding the batts. Any thoughts?
Did you wash and dry it on the gentle cycle? Also did you use regular clothes detergent in the washer?
Thank you so much for this - it's exactly what I was looking for. Mine started out 16" square and came out of the dryer at 12 by 14 which is great. Mine is still shedding a little bit; does that mean I didn't use the soap enough or rub it enough, or is that to be expected?
where's the kit on your website? I can't find it. Love the project.
Sara Renzulli oh this is what I was asking about❣️✨💖
How many ounces is this when done?
Hi everyone I don’t have a tumble dryer. Any ideas please ?
could you use SCRAPPY MATT MATT SCRAPS?
I also like Paddy McStabby, lol
Sara how big can these be made? I work with different sized mats and would like a large one. 16"x16"ish. Possible or not?
Did anybody make one with and ouchy face yet?
What was the name of the shear fabric that you wrapped before wet felting?
/
Voile. Like a silky fine (very fine) netting. If you ask a fabric store for silk voile, you would only need like one or two yards, I would think.
