Troubleshooting
Felt is difficult to cut cleanly.
Ensure you are using sharp scissors or a suitable cutting tool. For intricate cuts, consider using a craft knife on a cutting mat.
Glue is soaking through the felt.
Use a small amount of glue, or opt for a glue specifically designed for fabrics. A hot glue gun on a low setting can also be effective.
Felt pieces are not holding their shape.
For added stiffness, consider using a stiffening spray or interfacing on the back of the felt pieces, especially for structural elements in crafts.
Colors do not match the project vision.
While the packs contain coordinated colors, individual color needs may vary. Consider purchasing additional felt sheets if specific colors are essential.
