So I have never really cared for adding felt to my projects. When I found out that you cannot machine wash felt I stopped using it entirely. I want the items I make to be used for a long time. I use googly eyes or buttons or I embroider them, depending on the age range they are meant for. I truly do not like felt. In fact I have a toy that was made five years ago that we glued googly eyes onto that my cat plays with, they eyes did not come off with all the biting and kicking and scratching, but they did not. Finally not that long ago I ripped them off because they were just starting to come loose, after five years! I would rather make a pattern for what ever felting needs to be done then to use felt. The only reason I am going to be using felt on my Sneetch is simply because it will be removable so when it needs to be washed you can remove the felt and toss it in the washer.
That is my rant about felt.
