The Monthly Fiber Arts Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love yarn and fabric of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced fiber artists and beyond, we would love to hear from you.
It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Fiber Arts Thread. Knitting, crochet, quilting, weaving, general crafting - there is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you'd like to be added to our Fiber Arts Ping List.
NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We do post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Fiber Arts fans are welcomed any time!
I think, are called "cats."
do you use nonwoven fabric?
I think it might be a type of embroidery cloth.

No its regular 100% cotton calico.
These are incredibly cute!
Did you do them the way people put together big quilts, with strips of material?
Yes, you could be right, I did see a picture of the Hardanger Fabric at your link that looked to be about the closest. I bought a good sized remnant years ago and it is almost gone. I would love to find an exact match.
Yes.
Like we make it ourselves? Huh? I don’t get what you’re asking.
I crochet. And I can sew a straight line...and that’s about it. I have no idea why I’m hosting this thread, LOL!
hello,
it was a really general question as i’d never heard of it before a few days ago and was curious as to what other uses it had
i knew kinda what it was but dint know there was a name for it
the item in question was like a pressed slurry of cotton
ie felt is a non-woven fabric
i was wondering if anybody uses it
thx
I wonder if Chode is thinking of interfacing?
Here’s a link to two kinds, one of which looks somewhat woven and one fused: https://images.app.goo.gl/P8ykdtkwTnAmkp9E8
Now I’m confused. I thought you were asking about my quilts.
my bad, i couldn’t think of a better place to ask
yes, the top looks like it...
it’s made like paper
what would you use it for?
thx
Crocheted sweaters are stiff and awkward-fitting.
Sweaters need to be knitted.
(Anyway, both generally require opposable thumbs...)

I think she was replying to your question about the embroidery fabric.
Chode, interfacing is used behind some fabric or between two pieces to keep the fabric slightly stiffer. It is also used at other times, for instance, to strengthen a fabric someone is embroidering.
Remember those summer dresses that were long and buttoned down the front? A lot of them had interfacing on the fabric behind the buttons as the light fabric would otherwise be easily pulled out of shape.
Wow, that must have taken some patience to work with such small bits! But they turned out beautifully!
