The idea with positioning the bottom side of the rock up when you first roll is so you will essentially get two layers of wool on the top of your rock when you're done. I find that sufficient to sew on. If you feel thin spots when you roll it up, then I would add a little more roving in those areas. Good luck!Lisa at lil fish studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15264613554041175072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-18101710671417628332013-11-28T23:39:58.131-06:002013-11-28T23:39:58.131-06:00Hi Lisa!!!

I was hoping to decorate my stones with buttons and and sequins etc is the felted layer created from this technique thick enough to hand sew?

The needling is a good trick, I'll try it out on felting soap as well, next time. I might have a tip for you as well (found in the FUN, a beautiful magazine about felting (german, but also in english!): instead of cutting of any excess fibers with scissors, you could try to shave them of with a dispoasble razor. Tried it, works! All the best from France (are the stones still arriving? :) )Doggenfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497180613098313686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-4091230945502789752012-11-30T03:54:47.012-06:002012-11-30T03:54:47.012-06:00my stones:

I have also wondered this about embroidering the faces on already-stuffed dolls. How do you start and stop? Do you make a knot, or use a couple of back stitches? How do you hide them?

You'll find tons of options on Etsy, both in pre-dyed and un-dyed fiber. You can even find sample packs with several different color or breeds of fibers.

I keep my wool in bins with lavender and sometimes cedar. I don't use moth balls because that smell does not come out of the wool, even after its been felted, and I've read that it's a possible carcinogen. When I bring in any wool that hasn't been commercially processed, I put it in the deep freeze for a week or so, just in case it's harboring any nibblers. <br /><br />I don't think you can entirely avoid the possibility of moths, but so far this has worked for me.
