💛🧡❤️💜💙💚 My favorite take away was your thanking everyone. Sometimes we forget so thank you for the reminder. As for felting take away... the way your bar affects the effort in increasing the hardness of fulled felt.

[@hattyhedgewitch]

My favourite take away was that with minimal supplies you can still make something fun, interesting and I can’t wait for next week 🐑🐑❤️❤️💖💖

[@newmoonjlp]

I love that you take the time to really work through a project from beginning to end so we can see all the minute details of your process.

[@jeanchalliner5341]

Absolutely fabulous video!! What a gorgeous piece of fabric. Thank you for all the expertise you freely share ❤❤❤

[@Humphreedee]

Just discovered your magnificent site and store! Wow.Thanks for your generous advice, inspiration, and technique-sharing! Can't wait to get started!

[@mary-lougatward5125]

Oh Oh Oh I cant wait to start making this. I just started wet felting. I’m taking the fundamentals class and will make this fabric when I’m finished with fundamentals. 💕

[@lynndonnelly5666]

Just realized this was done two years ago. Boy do I need to catch up! Thanks for leaving it up to view

[@Cyndria56]

Happy felter in place. Beautiful colors!

[@nancymeese8521]

So excited for this project and hoping to do this weekend. Need this to stay calm and be creative during this stressful time. My husband is an EMT and my daughters are both RNs. So grateful to all people working to keep us safe.

[@flgirl250]

I love how your fabric turned out. I’m gonna join your FB group!

[@alliebeezz]

I love our healthcare workers and first responders. We thank you! #Stayhome

[@phuonglight6703]

Thank you for your teaching, very new to wet felting. Truly appreciate it😊

[@stormyhudson9334]

Retired and doing my part by staying home Day 29 for me. Ordered a ton of wool last week so I have lots to do.

[@phaistia]

Thanks for sending this link!

[@judycobillas550]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It gives me so much information as to what to do with all of the "special" materials I've ordered from you and haven't used yet! Thank you for continuing to reach out to your fiber followers. Wooly Wednesday is my down time, my relaxation time and my lift for the week and the times no matter what day I watch it. Hugs to all of you! Stay safe.

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you so much for this nice note, Judy! This time with you all is so special to us also!

[@tryan4]

I missed the live session😕. I am grateful that I am able to watch at my convince. Thank You. Stay well.

[@claudiakotouc6748]

Love this tutorial. Wonderful colors and fiber combinations! Thank you, Marie. I am so excited to make this kind of felt.

[@janedomke2811]

Great point about quality

[@michellefleming9472]

I love the blues in the demo piece you showed. It gives me an idea of how to do the background for an octopus I want to do. Now to dig through my stash! Thanks!

[@carenpack175]

Loved seeing how all the dif bling fibers turned out. Learned a lot with this . I'm going to do some of these for cutting into my fey folks clothing. Ideas abound. Thanks so much!

[@candywham3657]

So sad I missed the live! I enjoy these felt alongs so much, gets the creative juices going. My takeaway, may seem simple as I've been felting for quite a few yrs. however there's always a little something I just hadn't thought about, so today's takeaway was the "pinch test". I'll be using that for future projects. Looking forward to next week to see what we are going to be doing with these :D

[@lindag3663]

Thank you (from England)! I've so enjoyed this tutorial and I can't wait to have a go! You've been so thorough and it's really helpful!

[@patriciadumatrait9594]

I am so glad you are teaching this!!

[@vickiecamacho834]

I'm just wow never knew this I'm so excited to learn this

[@ritam-pearson1943]

My Favourite take away was about the difference between olive soap and detergents , also I like the whole tutorial:, the way that it so friendly and so natural! No fuss, no exaggeration, easygoing, funny, clear and so true. If something goes wrong it goes wrong...we learn out of the mistakes! Wonderful! I will be much more experimental in the future! Thank you!

[@cariesadowski6589]

Love the embellishments! I haven't done much with them before, but now I want to dig in and explore.

[@gladysgarrison6383]

My favorite take away was using a closet rod. I wasn’t able to watch the whole session this after but finished it tonight.

[@laurelcady81]

You already talk about fibers and what they are best used for when shopping and it would be great to look at it another way. For a particular project, what kind of fibers would be best to use and put it in a PDF or tip sheet format that we can save/print out. Example 2D needle felt picture, what to use for backing, fibers and fancy fibers. Another for felting 3D objects, another for nuno felting. Etc etc. These video tutorials are AWESOME, and project tip sheets would be great reference for shopping and planning projects.

[@lynndonnelly5666]

Sorry I missed the live. So excited about what you're going to show us today

[@lindaroepken9100]

Watched live on Wednesday, now ready to #feltinplace with the playback!!!

[@shelleybarnettcreations9176]

You are an excellent teacher! This is a new-found interest for me. I love the concept & you have made things so clear & easy to follow! Thank you!

[@carenpack175]

Caren Pack/Holley in So Cal...We are hunkered down, binge watching Dark Shadows from the beginning. Now hearing the theme song in my sleep. Other stuff going on and not able to felt! (sob) So thankful for these replays, Marie. Love you guys.

[@barbaramcelgunn9811]

Best tutorial ever! So much good information. Barbara McElgunn. Canada

[@karenmartin4581]

Thanks for all the information on wet felting. I'm a total beginner, so learning about all the wonderful fibers was my favorite takeaway. Excited for next weeks reveal!

[@Xitaychin]

Thank you so much! Such an inspiring video, I'm so excited to try this!!! This is the first channel I want to return to, it feels like a home, so heartwarming and near. Hope to meet you some day!

[@elliceblaylock2102]

Favorite takeaway is the gentleness of this piece or the Felting of it. I was taught this way by Susan Thompson and her mom, Sally Hall. Nice to have the fun continue. Ellice

[@melaniesmith6053]

Was pleased to learn of the wooden dowel as a felting helper.

[@499faith]

Thank you so much for another great lesson. I am now understanding about the different fibers you used on the piece. Just love how everything came together so nicely.

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Thank you to all those medical and first responders!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@daniellemccooey2376]

#REPLAY Thank you for recognizing the First Responders! My husband works for the Fire Dept and it is a scary time for sure. I am very excited to start this project this weekend. I got the Masquerade Designer Bundle and Wet Felt Kit. I am over the moon with the colors and variety of fibers! Much Love!!!

[@shanstersntx]

I enjoyed todays 2 hour lesson !!!! I am going to jump in and try wet felting eek

[@jennytreloar9460]

That was so wonderful to watch you make. So much information! I will be watching it again to make sure I got it all. My biggest takeaway was using the dowel as the core to roll against. I have heard you talk about it just have not watched you use it yet, only the noodle. I have a dowel, just was not confident enough to use it yet. Now I can! Thank you!!

[@LivingFelt]

nice!

[@janedomke2811]

Wet felting intimidates me But I find watching this helping me relax a little bit

[@doreethorpe4800]

loved the informative felt along! Really enjoyed it.

[@sabinecompeyn6453]

Can’t wait to see what’s next... very curious ! Sure going to be ready for next Wednesday !

[@sarapowell9860]

I finally finished watching. I need to place an order so I can make a piece! Expect an order soon! I have not wet felted before so I am super excited to try!!!

[@brandih4700]

I am so excited to watch this.

[@brandih4700]

This was very therapeutic ty

[@hattyhedgewitch]

So tomorrow I’ll be #feltinginplace really looking forward to starting this project I get to try all the crazy fibres I can’t resist every time I go shopping 🛒 xxx💕🌈🐑🐑💜🧡💛💖

[@JeNetty75]

EXCELLENT tutorial~! Thank you so much!

[@niclewis9731]

Watching you at 1am in the morning from New Zealand . You’re amazing ! I have always wanted to try felting but have not felt confident. You are such a good teacher and so thoughtful with the way you explain things, so I’m going to give the pancake a try. I make handmade bunny treats for the rescues in New Zealand and I want to eventually make a hay to wear while foraging. With my bright red hair and live of things natural …. Felting I think will be my new outlet to relieve stress etc . Thank you again for your amazing warm and beautiful tutorials xxxxx

[@Xitaychin]

Made my first wet felted fabric!

[@abiggs66]

I love this project, thank you for all your fantastic tutorials.

[@janedomke2811]

zI love the variety of things you put on the top. Can't wait to see it finished

[@stephaniewilliams3106]

This was an awesome WW! Can’t wait for next week!

[@valerieblais1801]

So inspiring. Love those colors too! Can't wait for the next one to make something with it. Felting tomorrow!

[@hattyhedgewitch]

I quite like the layout process even watching it ❤️❤️❤️💕💕

[@leannac2743]

I've just watched the replay & I'm so very fascinated! I am brand new to felting & in fact just started on your needle felting bunny kit. Now I've watched the wet felting & I can't wait to try that too! I'm completely enamored 😍😍😍

[@LivingFelt]

That is so fun to hear! Lots of people start felting by needle felting...but once you get hooked on the fiber, there are soooo many projects and processes to explore :)

[@cherylnielson5203]

This is the best wet felting video! I’ve watched a lot and yours is most informative. I have also looked at your website and will be ordering soon. I am wanting to do the art felt to make handbags...wish me luck...

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you so much! We wish you lots of fun!

[@peggyhoneycutt7310]

so fun. I learned so much especially about the different fibers

[@kaylogan3218]

Thank you for continued support to all of your fans. Please stay healthy and safe 🥰

[@leeannb03]

Great Video Marie! Love the ball watering thingy! Hope to get an order in this week :)

[@brendanelson7670]

Thank you for the tutorial. My biggest take away is when you first start rolling you need to be gentle (don't roll to tight), then you can move to a harder more aggressive roll. Also I love how permission is given to not worry about being perfect!

[@kristythomas2919]

I am so excited to try this!

[@tinaparman6046]

so excited to know the difference between the needles, thanks so much

[@jysk713]

Oh how beautiful! Love all the colors :D

[@sheilaeverett461]

Excited about this. Waco, TX

[@glennloomes372]

AKA Chantal Wolf Thanks for a great tutorial! I learned about the different bling fibers and what they look like when felted and that I need to press more lightly.

[@LivingFelt]

Yes, in the BEGINNING = press lightly....in the FULLING process, press more firmly :)

[@sylvialee8194]

You are a great teacher. Thank you❤️❤️

[@jeandenson6762]

Beautiful piece of fabric!!

[@judynichols3512]

I love making things out of wet felted fabric! Such as pins and magnets! Watching your show right now (: I live in Truro Nova Scotia and we have a lot of felters in Nova Scotia! Thank you for your videos. I made 2 raindeers but I used cinnamon sticks for the legs! Judy

[@dianaurban6838]

I did it! Used some black alpaca fiber ( two layers) for base since I didn’t have pre felt. Then on top MC1, some unknown Corriedale, locks, sari, not to bad for first try. The main thing I branched out from my needle felting, thank you Marie!

[@janedomke2811]

I love the colors you are using

[@jeandenson6762]

My take away is watching you stretch the silk hankie across your piece. I’ve not tried using a silk hankie like that. I love how it felted on your piece!

[@jeandenson6762]

Can’t wait to see how you use the palm washboard! I love using mine but I want to be sure I’m using it correctly.

[@susanmartin3779]

Can't wait to try! Of course, I'll have to use MC-1 or merino top since I forgot to order pre-felt. Will be ready for next week....for sure! :-)

[@eveliendevlieger1]

This is very helpful, thank you!

[@maryrushing2838]

great refresher as I've not felted for months

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

I am watching this a year later. Wonderful tutorial! I did wet felting once but had forgotten the steps. It's great to relearn it.

[@lynettevasu7485]

felter in place! missed the live show today :( but i'm watching it now!

[@kariedwards7234]

I've been so intimidated by this process but after watching this I'm definitely going to give it a try! Thank you!

[@tammypopp314]

thanks for the tutorial! I am still new to wet felting and my take away is the pinch test, still working on knowing when it is done!

[@jeandenson6762]

Love the color palate!!

[@shadowpuffin]

I made my fabric yesterday, fun project! I used a bunch of bling. :-)

[@cathlowe6752]

Late joining. I will catch up for next week . Enjoyable tutorial

[@christinan.7273]

This is so beautiful!!! I have never felted before, but I am dying to try this. I think fabric of this kind would make stunning placemats and/or table runners.... Now to reign myself in from buying every color you stock!

[@sperrins595]

Fabulous.. thank you

[@marianaromero4958]

Thanks for you'r good energy so needed this days! I'v lernd that is no need to give to much presure to the fabric to have a good result. I'm from Uruguay soth america, love you'r pruducts!!

[@LivingFelt]

Thank you :) in the BEGINNING = press lightly....in the FULLING process, press more firmly :)

[@castlechalabi3366]

Your videos are my favourite 🤗🙂

[@KakapoCreations]

My favourite takeaway was the vinegar rinse at the end of the process. Never heard of doing this before but will try it next time I felt!

[@Councilof8for43]

I have learned so much from this lesson! I am drying my sheet now and starting a second one. Can't wait until next week!! 👍😁 #feltinginplace

[@carolneill9955]

This was a very fun adventure Marie. Kudos to you for all the effort you put in for this tutorial. I would never have thought of all the interesting ideas you came up with on how to use our arty fabric, ingenious. :) Something I would love to see in a future tutorial is some more ideas/techniques on making clothes for our dolls...that would make all my naked dolls very happy. lol

[@SeareanMoon]

I must have been behind, I think I paused it to take a call... but tried to chat and it was over... I was saying I hadn't the supplies but will make a sheet for the next project! congrats to all the winners, enjoy!

[@brendaallen3750]

1-25-22 Just watched this episode and loved it. I am a beginner felt maker and looking forward to watching the next episode! Thank you for your teaching, you made it easy to following along. Now to order my supplies!

[@dianemccannmathews8332]

Absolutely loved this Thank you x

[@5canwalk]

Great share, beautiful artwork!

[@faithmothergoddess7055]

Thankyou ever so much Marie I learned so much! my biggest takeaway was that you dont have to flip the piece your working on only rotate it! so much easier and less creases too lol

[@LivingFelt]

For a thin piece, not as important...as long as top and bottom layers are shrinking about same and migrating together. I very often DO flip it over.

[@lynettevasu7485]

Big hearts sent

[@michellefleming9472]

I need to finish getting my craft room set up so I can do some wet felting here in Michigan!
